LYRICS
- - -
All the voices will be heard,
All the sorrow and the pain,
All the love and all the joy,
Gathered on the weavers’ weft.
(Needle ! Needle ! Sew with your gold thread !)
Voices rumble like the storm,
Refusing the silence,
Their echoes are said to,
Bring down stars and galaxies.
(Needle ! Needle ! Sew with your gold thread !)
Voices rumble like the storm ! Bring... Down...
Needle, Needle, hear us !
Sew with your gold thread on the weft for us
blind.
From the mountain to the sea,
To the stars and galaxies,
Sew a kingdom for the mind,
Lasting till the end of time.
Bring... Down...
A cantos, on the weavers’ weft !

Best way to start the new year ☄️

[@KingPenn13]

So…there needs to be a film for the entire album. Make it this generation’s The Wall.

[@davidfromearth1102]

What a killer song, what a killer video. Slift are already legends to me

[@amanites24]

Looking forward to the new album and to see you live in Utrecht!!

[@peterfranklinrouth895]

Instant masterpiece

[@chriskanemeier]

Very excited to delve into Ilion in full here soon, Weaver’s Weft is my new favorite so far! Killer work by all involved!

[@NikoJr.]

I got hooked on UMMON, so now I'm stoked for this newest album 👀

[@smokeythebearhug]

EPIC! SLIFT you need to come back to Atlanta, Georgia!

[@owenayre8797]

Best band out there. Trying to catch a show but difficult due to living in Shanghai. I will make it happen.....hopefully summer!

[@ewillyp]

EPIC!!!! so good. can't wait for Slift to return to Los Angeles!

[@ummon995]

I’d love to meet Slift and just talk sci fi books and and art for a bit.

[@dale8809]

I just heard this band for the first time today and am an instant fan. Well done.

[@andreistroe4140]

superb. thanks.

[@christianronchin6933]

Please come to Italy!

[@Taranchule]

Can't say I ever heard of you guys before, but I caught this on a late night edition of Australian music video show Rage tonight and... yeah, it's pretty bloody good!

[@Jimbojoebob]

Incredible as usual. I hope to see a Weavers movie in the future.

[@NigelWinfrey]

Knew I was onto something good with that first KEXP session I found by these guys. Glad I subscribed, getting massive King Crimson vibes but in a modern psych garage way.

[@monstermagnet3150]

Génial, vous avez des dates de concert en France bientôt ! Hâte !!

[@RicardoPestana]

Amazing!

[@OlaJustin]

What a wonderful trip you have created! 👌

[@Iron-nocap]

Baroness + mastodon + dashes of gojira, those are the vibes i get.

[@charliervr]

+ some heavy psych and stoner rock. It's insane how complex their music is.

[@opossumonline]

Reminds me of some of Devin Townsend's music too, especially Terria

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Great trip ✨

[@SineEyed]

Awesome video - thank you..

[@therockiesfan3]

I like bands with lore.

[@modernSoundGear]

Excellent

[@dokanyon]

The slow part in the last 4 minutes is so goood! Greetings from Greece

[@leonardolopez9844]

Brutal

[@mozzerianmisanthrope406]

See you in Leeds! 🖤

[@marcoortiz8046]

Using Google translator, Oh mon Dieu, c'est fantastique. Je vous ai récemment entendu pour la première fois. J’aime vraiment beaucoup ta musique. Please come to New Mexico USA!!!!! Happy New Year.

[@kirkvoelcker5272]

Video is very Metal Hurlant.

[@Maxime_Petit]

Transporté à la fois par le son et par l'image. Wow. Vivement le reste et le concert !!

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Yeah. Fuck yeah. Great video.

[@kenhunt6659]

This is like a visualization of a DUNE character's traversal of hyperspace while on the spice, like a CHOAM guild navigator's experience of guiding his ship. Terrific work, both musically and visually.

[@LUGUIM4]

Omg this is 100X improvement amazing

[@doriangray476]

Merci SLIFT

[@jad_mus]

J’étais déjà conquis par votre univers mais là on monte encore d’un cran, le son comme l’image ! 😮 Bravo, et merci !!

[@manuelleroy5304]

SLIFTOULOUSE or not to LOOSE ! ! Just amazing and monstrous ! !

[@soyoudv]

J'ai tellement hâte, l'album va être fou.

[@pateraz9728]

chaque morceau est un événement historique !vous vous rendez compte que j'usqu'a présent seul daft punk a été le seul truc ingurgitable musicalement au monde entier (venant de france de ces derniere décennie) ? c'est magnifique...

[@alisondavid3954]

"Ingurgitable Musicalement" ! vous y allez un peu fort : Gojira, Air, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Magma etc....

[@pateraz9728]

​@@alisondavid3954 oui vrai ,jsui d'accord mais tous ces groupes ont tous été crée dans les années 90 sauf magma 68 ...ont va dire de 2000 a 2024 ? moi je séche...ya plein de noms qui me viennent en tête mais aucun qui saute vraiment les mers ,avez vous une idée?

[@jad_mus]

@@pateraz9728Alors j’ai pas les stats / années en tête mais pour ne citer rien que l’électro et le metalcore il me semble que des M83, C2C, Woodkid, Novelists, Landmarks, The Dali Thundering Concept, etc. répondent aux critères ?

[@pateraz9728]

cool ca merci ,c'est toujour bon à prendre ! @@jad_mus

[@jad_mus]

@@pateraz9728 En y repensant, y a aussi eu cette mode du retour à la Synthwave avec Kavinsky, Carpenter Brut et Perturbator. Le morceau « Stuck in the Sound - Let’s go » qui a cartonné (>140M vues probablement grâce à son clip du chinois rose dans l’espace 😅) ou pour les explorateurs en mal d’expériences auditives Igorrr (musique avant-gardiste mêlant baroque, electro, metal…)

[@Bellski]

First 3 seconds I'm already loving it!!

[@RegularWilliam]

Los amo. Vengan a Perú 🇵🇪🤘

[@bornon18]

It's ridiculous how an underground band can afford special effects on par with high-budget TV series. I guess Hollywood just stopped trying.

[@ryckjunior9911]

They live and perform for it 100% with all their might. They tout and play shows permanently. They have committed themselves this completely.

[@jfunky8721]

Theyre evolving.... shout out to the people whove been waIting A few years for this LP to drop. Congrats to the people who have just discovered SLIFT!

[@MrMalco1976]

I discovered them on Friday because of the cover art of their new album. Amazing stuff!

[@progshark]

I'm in the latter group. The Levitation Sessions went across my music feed last month and I loved the spacey texture. Then heard Nimh and I was hooked.

[@kenhunt6659]

I'm blown away by this band and surprised they haven't gotten more attention.

[@aclmet]

Han ça faisait longtemps que je ne m'étais pas prise une claque comme ça : sonore et visuel en prime. Bravo c'est tout simplement divin !

[@danielreiff6175]

best power trio on the planet right now

[@etaknar]

This the most high-effort video, did you really kitbash all of those models? They look fantastic!

[@mrsledge]

H. R. Giger vibes

[@RicardoPestana]

or Moebius

[@tibetbukan8360]

These guys are so underrated

[@edgarovazquez8658]

¡¡¡Son los mejores!!! ¡Vengan de nuevo a México! 🇲🇽

[@LuisMedinaInformador]

Estaría.

[@djsoulfilter]

What a journey! Love it!

[@radwizard]

I love this band! 🐄🛸GG

[@devolta]

Amazing

[@mrXdism]

Seeing you in Leipzig in April...cant wait !!!

[@FitterHappier47]

🤯

[@AldoColares]

BRING DOWN

[@F____T]

L'esthétique est par moment assez "Gigerienne". Joli taf!

[@kissmaryjane74]

Монументальная работа! Круто, стиль! Ждём альбом! From Russia with Love)

[@jeanmoulin3243]

Putain. C'est rare cette beauté de composition. Et un plus c'est du bleu blanc rouge qui se cache derrière ces magnifiques ondes. 🥰Petit message pour Canek , étant moi-même batteur (du dimanche), tu fais partie de mes dieux de la baguette. Ta compo à 3min45 est juste monstrueuse, merci à vous trois et je vous souhaite tout le meilleur.

[@mattperlis355]

I can see some influence for this video from the 1973 Animated French Sci fi film Fantastic Planet

[@BoudicasQuest]

ooh i love the imagery. when are you coming to san francisco?

[@jamessilver2748]

Hi SLIFT, please play a gig in Glasgow, Scotland

[@Mark12839447]

come to brazil

[@GI_Hoe]

Hell yeah love it!!!!

[@arkaisk2]

Sense morale: no shoplifting in space.

[@Guthio]

😆

[@austincde]

Never enter the lava coochie

[@MGNeu]

home universe X)()(X

[@dorego3658]

looks a bit like Dune

[@Jello-Biafra69]

Holy fuck

[@фонУнгерн]

Перванах

[@buddyman7941]

I didn't get it

[@Princeps7289]

Wait, is this the new Dune trailer?

[@gerardospirito3869]

Fuck me the last 3mins are orgiastic ❤️‍🔥

[@mikeplummer26]

15 more rotations to reach Ilion!

[@FSM46AND2]

Putting on my Slift t-shirt and getting my DMT vape. ☮️🇨🇦

[@shotgunner777]

30 seconds in: what drugs did it take to make this? 3 minutes in: oh there's no drugs required, it's just raw genius.

[@DiceBloke]

DUNE if it was good

[@explodingpancakeofawesomen8594]

these tracks keep reminding me of these french artists (Laloux, Mœbius, Caza), it's like you've managed to describe how those drawings look and feel through music

[@matthiasmerkel3815]

We are witnesses of a new chapter of musical history. Unforgetable. See SLIFT in Germany, Hamburg soon. ❤

[@matthiasmerkel3815]

Watching the video nearly the 20th time with headphones on, I am fascinated by the drummers work! He is the "weaver", weaving his weft to keep the sections of the song together! Awful drumming! And: as a bass player I love the "new" sound of the bass - I guess due to the Hiwatt Amplifiers?!

[@Evan_L]

I love when you can tell exactly which sci-fi movies people are into

[@gurukimci]

Something Something Prometheus/Alien, Dune, Event Horizon, 2001:Space Oddesey, Something something?

[@johannaderee4763]

Definitely fifth element too. And also, I would suspect some influence from Moebius and Druillet as well.

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Pandorum for sure

[@ohm_mho]

Not a movie (yet), but Hyperion

[@mrzimothy]

Stargate as well.

[@markhurlock3891]

I like the space ship engine sounds in the first part of the outro. Sounds nothing like a guitar that I've ever heard!

[@blutos]

These Ilion tracks are so good that I'm finding it hard to listen to other music right now

[@TheStruggle-1337]

If Dune Metal was what you guys are after, you succeeded 10 fold

[@tjacobconley1]

C'est vraiment excellent !

[@SgtFluffytheoriginal]

My lord this Song is incredible. Man I am so glad KEXP featured you.

[@spencerthu2956]

This takes me back to my cholhood and how people were still dreaming about being out there with the stars! The younger generation 's dont even look up at night and wonder whats out there! I love these vids

[@FumpyDuck]

Every other band might as well take the year off. There's no topping this.

[@tomrichardson5433]

The imagery reminds me of both Slift's Levitation Session performed in the Boule, a decommissioned megavolt electron microscopy, and the cover of ELP's Brain Salad Surgery

[@AdamReade]

Awesome....You guys jus sold another album on the 19th! I'm in.

[@jaojotajoao]

come to brazil

[@matthiasmerkel3815]

The objects/shilouettes on the top of the Mountains of the first planet in the video (2:38) - I knew I had seen them before: they are the smaller spacecrafts from the video of "Thousand Helmets of Gold"

[@Outer-Space-in-1993]

If I recall correctly, didn't we see a glimpse of the white citadel at the end of that same music video?

[@matthiasmerkel3815]

Yes, one of the "helmet" spacecrafts is approaching an asteroid ("satellite") with the white citadel on it @@Outer-Space-in-1993

[@purplepete6443]

This is pure fucking art, I cant get over this Video. Discovered Slift 2 months ago and they are BY FAR my favorite band out there!!! Cant wait to see them live!

[@KingPenn13]

I discovered them about two years ago. Finally got to see them live in October ‘22. It was the best live show I’ve seen in 30 years. They were flawless.

[@SineEyed]

@@KingPenn13 what kind of show do they put on? Costumes? Theatrics? Pyrotechnics? Dancing alien babes? Inquiring minds wanna know..

[@KingPenn13]

@@SineEyed Nothing fancy. I saw them at a small club in Atlanta. Just some psychedelic imagery on a silkscreen in the background with them killing it on stage. Great energy, great sound. It doesn’t hurt that they were playing their last album, Ummon, in its entirety. It’s the best album I’ve heard in years. I posted a video from that show of them playing Hyperion. I don’t need theatrics and costumes at a show. They sounded better live than on the recordings. Can’t wait until they come to the states again.

[@SineEyed]

@@KingPenn13 right on man, thanks for the reply. I asked, not because I need that stuff or thought they _should_ have it in their shows, but because I could imagine a band who would put out a video like this, doing something like that. You know what I mean? Really I was just kinda being cheeky. Anyway, I'll keep any eye out for them making their way to the west coast. I'm sure I'd have a great time. Thanks again.. 🤙

[@KingPenn13]

@@SineEyed Ha! I understood what you meant. I would most definitely go see them if you ever get the chance. I will travel if they don’t play near me. With them being from France, I assume I won’t get many chances.

[@maciejjabonski8515]

Brilliant, guys! I'm looking forward to the album's release. Please consider playing a concert in Poland that was supposed to take place but didn't due to the pandemic 😭. It would be great to see you though! 🤩

[@jivekiwi]

That wasn't just a song, that was an experience 👌

[@runawayuniverse]

This is one of the greatest pieces of art that I have ever heard.

[@troublezks]

Wow serious Tool vibes in this song and video. Very cool

[@TheAAZSD]

Hyperrriiion.

[@johnathonwitenski8523]

Calling it right now, best album of 2024! I absolutely love this album so far. Ummon was amazing and this is just pushing that sound even further. I love the emotion and tension of these songs. Jean's vocals are intense, and Remi's bass playing just adds this powerful foundation to it.

[@Fanta6669]

Discovered Slift couple of months ago by chance. I now i love it! You guys rule

[@Tanuki974]

Dommage que Slift n'ait pu réaliser la BO du Dune de Jodorowski... Ni le film se faire.

[@leonardrockstein2700]

These singles are incredible and this LP feels like it is going to be much more emotive and reflective. Stoked to listen front to back for the first time!!

[@MaryB99]

Musical and visual masterpiece!!

[@smokeycretin9]

Another amazing visual experience brought to you by Slift
