30 Years Ago Today – Phish Releases Fourth Studio Album ‘Rift’

30 years ago today (2/2/93), Phish released their fourth studio LP Rift. Their second conceptual LP contained lyrics largely penned by Tom Marshall about a man’s dreams about the rift in his personal relationship with his girlfriend. Although many of the songs had been performed live prior to the album’s release, Rift holds together as a complete listen, with each song transitioning into the next on a continual theme. All songs were written by Trey Anastasio and Phish lyricist Tom Marshall except “Mound” and “Weigh” by bass guitarist Mike Gordon and “Lengthwise” by drummer Jon Fishman. Take a poll of best Phish studio albums and Rift will most likely always end up in the top three. Listen to the always adventurous “Maze” off Rift..
