Slift

Absolutely gargantuan slabs of riff-dom that'll shatter even the most icy of cynical souls - Slift imbue their bludgeoning doom battery with glorious swirls of psych which ought to get every fist in the room raised and pounding in unison.

this is the Sub Pop debut and third album by French psychedelic rock powerhouse SLIFT. SLIFT’s 'ILION' is a towering work of rock music, a steamrolling record that starts at the highest peak and never lets up. If that sounds overwhelming, trust that this Toulouse trio have you in good hands. Their third full-length feels massive and oceanic, merging the furious intensity of metal and the wigged-out guitar heroics of psych rock with post-rock’s epic sense of scale. ILION is the kind of music where you listen to it and think to yourself, “This came from only three people?” It sure did, and SLIFT’s utter ferocity is way more than a tempest in a teacup. It reaches outwards for miles and creates new zeniths within unforeseen horizons of rock.
