Hoist

Rock · 1994 · 7 tracks

Hoist

A polished pivot toward bluesy grooves and gospel-tinged rock. Phish trades sprawling prog-rock suites for tight, horn-driven hooks and surrealist radio-ready anthems.

The one where Phish actually tried to make a hit record and it ended up being a soulful, funky blast.

A bright, soulful celebration of eccentric storytelling and tight, horn-driven grooves.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the explosive entrance of the Tower of Power horns on the opening track

the hauntingly sparse acoustic guitar and vocal vulnerability of Dog Faced Boy
