* If you’re a fan of stoner rock, sci-fi epics, inventive live performance, or (better yet) all of the above and you haven’t gotten onto up-and-coming band SLIFT yet, you are in for a treat! The French psychedelic trio made up of brothers Jean and Rémi Fossat and their highschool friend Canek Flores are rough, raw and raring to show the world their mend-bending sound ...
During SLIFT’s naissance in the scene, the guys were concerned primarily with delivering fluid live shows at their local haunts nestled within the thriving independent music scene in their hometown of Toulouse. Performance came first and the recording was almost an afterthought. All of that changed with their third studio album Ummon, which had a keener focus and saw the rockers buckle down to harness their creative energies into a refined and cohesive collection of tracks amounting to a conceptual masterpiece of an album. The record feels like an imagined soundtrack to a medley of the band’s favourite sci-fi works, inspired in equal measure by Homer’s Odyssey. The music, often instrumental and occasionally lyrical, takes you on a celestial voyage of heavy psych on the album, and their live show is so faithful to the spirit yet elevated to greater volumes.
