Slift skyrocketed new live video from French prodigies!
French space psych trio SLIFT are about to release their new full-length 'Ummon' across the Atlantic Ocean this June via Vicious Circle. Today, they share a mind-blowing live footage, courtesy of Invisible Oranges.
Heaviness, riffs, psychedelic, science-fiction... SLIFT’s progressive sound is a colourful and legendary journey to the edge of kraut and stoner rock. The live video "Lions, Tigers & Bears" highlights the band's magnetic creativity as well as powerful and unearthly jams. Recorded at Mix'art Myrys in Toulouse, France on March 7th 2020. A video by Jeff Morlais.
Say Invisible Oranges: "And awesome indeed Slift are, as this new music video for "Lions, Tigers and Bears," the big-ass closing epic from Ummon, demonstrates with a particularly straightforward charm. (...) It's hard to get enough of their intoxicating blend of, well, psych-everything -- Slift achieves a jam righteous enough to bump your head but supple enough to invigorate your mind."

SLIFT released their debut EP ‘Space Is The Key’ in June 2017 via Howlin Banana (France) and Exag’ Records (Belgium). Inspired by Alain Damasio’s sci-fi novels and Pierre Ferrero’s illustration work, ‘Space Is The Key’ is a raucous wall of sound and energy. The five nervous tracks are loaded up with fuzz mayhem and maniac beats sharp enough to knock your head off spinning with their hypnotic riffs.
In september 2018, Toulouse-based outer space jammers released ‘La Planète Inexplorée’, helped by garage rock producer Lo’Spider (The Monsters, Aqua Nebula Oscillator, Magnetix) and Jim Diamond (Fleshtones, Sonics, White Stripes) from the mighty Ghetto Recorders, Detroit. The record is the result of many overnight improvised sessions, probably due to their obsession with the krautrock scene and the 70s free jazz albums. Made of sci-fi digressions, the lyrics are about creating space warps and waking up ice giants after a millennia sleeping on a distant planet.
In February 2020, SLIFT released their double LP ‘Ummon’. Delivered through Vicious Circle Records (France) and Stolen Body Records (UK), the album is coming out in the USA this June. Stay tuned!
