Rift (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rift is the sixth studio album by rock band Phish. It is the band's second concept album, whose narrator is dreaming about the rift in his relationship with his girlfriend. Recorded in September and October 1992 and produced by Muscle Shoals music veteran Barry Beckett, it was released by Elektra Records on February 2, 1993. The cover illustration has a surreal depiction representing each of the album's tracks, with the exception of "The Horse". Notably, Phish's next album Hoist featured a horse as the cover art.

The album was certified Gold by RIAA 10/15/97.
