Lungfish - Rainbows From Atoms

Rainbows From Atoms, Lungfish’s second full-length album, was released in 1993 and captures the band in the formative stages of their creative evolution. Featuring Daniel Higgs on vocals, Asa Osborne on guitar, John Chriest on bass, and Mitchell Feldstein on drums, the record introduces the core elements that would come to define Lungfish’s work.

Built around repetitive grooves, spacious guitar lines, and a steady, almost ritualistic rhythm section, the album creates a trance-like atmosphere that invites deep listening. Higgs’ commanding yet introspective vocal delivery and poetic lyricism give the songs a spiritual weight, setting Lungfish apart from their hardcore contemporaries.

As one of the earliest expressions of the band’s minimalist and dub-tinged approach, Rainbows From Atoms remains an essential listen for fans of experimental post-hardcore and a key entry point into Lungfish’s influential catalog.
