SLIFT • ILION (FULL ALBUM)

[@Ascetimancer]

Genuinely stunned by this album. If Ummon was a tale, then this is a legend. Bravo. 🔥🤘

[@ruby221189]

Slift rocked Dublin like it hadn't been rocked by anyone in years!! Their musicianship is literally off the scale. Mind blowing performance 👍

[@xavkoston16]

How can they mix stoner, psyche and almost post hardcore elements in such a nice way ? Mindblowing

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

You forgot a couple of genres. There is a lot of Krautrock, Space Rock and Progressive Rock elements in this record.

[@davidvincent9545]

This is like Redfang on Steroids 😅😅😅😊

@@davidvincent9545 fun fact, a friend of mine is a soundguy, he used to tour with red Fang and now he will be on tour with slift hahahah

Never ask how .......Just feel it and do it

[@leonardrockstein2700]

Hands down the best progressive/krautrock/psychedelic/stoner/doom/drone/noise/ambient/post-punk/heavy synth/space rock/garage rock/ambient album since UMMON... Okay, maybe the only one. But no one holds a candle to what SLIFT is doing! Superb production, excellent atmosphere, incredible versatility. What a trip!! An instant classic.

[@jereuter01]

You said "ambient" twice.

[@BombaclaatGatofish]

​@jereuter01 it has 2x the ambience that you'd expect

[@svennilsson8719]

It sounds like the thousand nozzles of a starship flying over our distraught cities. Sidereal and staggering. A marvel of electricity falling screaming from the sky. The soundtrack of our century.

[@MisterBrimm]

There is no denying the sprawling, epic nature of this album.

[@ralphchunksoup4234]

Been there....kinda ....more asmr type sounds

[@lowskelow]

J étais partis pour 1h20 de train mais dans ce laps de temps j ai vecu une aventure qui m a fait voyager beaucoup pour loin et plus vite. La sensation d'avoir vu plus de chose en fermant les yeux qu en regardant par la fenêtre.

[@gratefulape12]

Slift and Elder have recultivated my interest in heavy music, after not having been interested since Helmet/early Tool.

[@GoonSquadLifeMember]

King Buffalo, Electric Wizard, Acid Mammoth, The SWORD, Stone Rebel...lots of weird, psychedelic space/desert/stoner/doom on other channels (Morphy and 666MrDoom).

[@Lalairu]

@@GoonSquadLifeMember thanks a lot for the names, I knew a few of them but others are new. I am a big Electric Wizard fan :3

[@nicolaspetit9182]

@@nicolaspetit9182 Search: "Slift KEXP"; they did at least 2 studio performances, one remote from France. They're sick live!

Holly shit! This is intense heavy and mild blowing 🤘

[@aleksejpezzi]

A beacon of light in today's musical landscape! Thank you Slift!

[@modernSoundGear]

Excellent, vinyl arrived Monday. I would like to thank Mark Arm and the good people at Sub Pop records, and Slift with the great music.

[@chriskirschten203]

Slift is the most amazing band out there!

[@davetarave]

this album could be 45 minutes long ... but this band want to and NEED to be heard ... the lord o f rings trilogy could be 2 hours long but we need the meat that is on aforementioned menu.... crazy piece of work... album of the year no questions asked .... SLIFT .... TAKE .... A... BOW 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@TheGarageBandSyndicate]

We need this in the US. Please come remind us how to play Rock and f kn Roll

[@snakeeater51]

Le futur du prog c'est maintenant, le futur du prog c'est SLIFT ! Inspiré par les grands classiques des70's, suffisamment bourrin pour ne jamais s'endormir, hyper encré dans notre monde actuel, avant gardiste, chaque morceau vous envoute et vous emmène dans son ambiance particulière tout en créant un tout cohérent et unique en son genre. Une master class, un de ces albums rock qui marque et marquera cette décennie !

[@giatonpeonta8071]

superbe concert à la Cigale hier soir. bravo les gars

[@PostProteusKitten]

Wow this took me on a fucking journey.

[@AbstractCatsMedia]

Very different then Ummon. Sounds like an entire journey, and with an ambient vibe. Another amazing epic, from SLIFT! 💓💓

[@elirahinfinity2021]

I feel like a teen again...so many great influences packed in.. love this 🤘🏻

[@lifeisrockrockislife5949]

Je vient de recevoir l album. Déjà la pochette est magique. Le son est malade .quel joyeux bordel .chaque chansons et une une suite logique à la suivante .c est comme si Pink Floyd découvrais le métal. Comme si le métal découvrais la musique des années 60 .vraiment un grand bravo grave à vous le rock peut encore avoir de belle année de révolution devant elle .lets rock baby

[@christianronchin6933]

Anch'io tra me e me mentre ascoltavo Weavers Weft ho pensato ai Pink Floyd

[@Titihful]

C'est très vrai ! C'est assez stupéfiant de voir de nouveaux territoires musicaux se dévoiler. Il y a très peu d'album aussi radicaux dans la mouvance psyché : pour une fois on à l'impression de voir quelque chose de vraiment novateur. Bravo Slift !

[@johnmolina9496]

The algorithm Gods have gifted me a miracle, PRAISE THE MIGHTY ALGORITHM!!

WOW!!! Slift has shredded our collective consciousness, and sewn it into the cosmic void. Absolute f'ing BANGER.

[@smudge7057]

I have to see these guys live

[@MrHuismeester]

Saw them live in Utrecht yesterday. They were fucking AMAZING!! Not much talking apart from a few thank you's, and just a massive powerhouse from beginning to end. It's true what they say...these three musicians are true magicians! Remi Fossat had one of the bass strings snap after the massive jam to Lions, Tigers and Bears and replaced it on stage while Jean Fossat and Canek Flores improvised with drums and electronics! Can't believe what I saw there yesterday!

[@gurukimci]

@@MrHuismeesterAbsolutely. This really is the type of music that is just amplified by a live setting. Not to mention those visuals...

[@paulnoonan1151]

The greatest band that has come along since The Mars Volta 20 years ago,

[@johnsonspark171]

Mars Volta kinda ass now though

[@nyf3ninj4]

Glad to hear they fixed the mixing on the title track, all killer no filler!

[@rickybrooks1250]

Hello from Northern Utah! This is already one of my favorite records of 2024. The singles were all amazing as was the KEXP performance. I've been checking daily for a US tour announcement!

[@dikbozo]

There are 2 KEXP performances. They both kill. Also the Levitation performance, which has the coolest setting I've ever seen.

[@playertotheleft]

Another Slift fan from Northern Utah!!! I hope they tour here too. Last time their closest tour spot for us was in Idaho.

[@Rain_power]

N Utah too!

[@GoonSquadLifeMember]

This feels like some kind of strange hybrid between Yes and Amenra. I love it.

Fantastic album, Slift is already among the very best ! Can't wait to see them live in a few months

[@somatattooathens]

Pure soundscape!

[@D__S__]

been listening to this a lot lately, this album is the musical equivalent to a mountain a cosmic mammoth of insane scope, variety, and production that rewards on every re-listen the main musical motif melody that pops up in various ways throughout the record really elevates the experience of the album as a whole not to mention some of the sickest bass performances in psych that ive heard in a while

[@DavidLaniel-v6v]

Depuis mon groupe de coeur No Means No, je n'avais entendu ni vu un groupe de ce niveau. Vous avez votre signature. Bons lives aux états unis et au Canada ! Votre vinyle acheté à Lyon est pour mon fils Elio . C'est un plaisir les gars ! With saucisse de Tououse. David

Cool moi qui adore elder, kadavar, lost in Kiev et surtout russian circle alors voilà que s'y rajoute slift ! Ça ne va pas vous changer la vie à vous trois mais ça me fait musicalement énormément du bien j'ai hâte de vous découvrir en concert, encore faut il que j'y aille 😢, superbe pochette que sont ces extra terrestres bouffeurs de spaghetti 😅, bravo les gars et longue vie musicale c'est énervant vous faites la musique que j'aurai aimé faire aujourd'hui ( 56 ans !) alors ça fait du bien de vous écouter 🎸

[@n0xx295]

"Critics say that rock is dead. The fact that this album was released in 2024 proves that is a lie." I hope you guys are fully aware you're one of the best rock bands in existence right now.... And this album is so damn good, it's disgusting.

[@opossumonline]

Beautiful. Cathartic. Unrelenting. I haven't had an experience listening to an album like this in a LONG time. Bravo, friends.

L'album est grandiose ! ça faisait pas mal de temps que je ne m'était pas pris une baffe sur un nouvel album. Le travail sur les ambiances est formidable, c'est ce qui me chope le plus sur l'ensemble de l'album. Les compositions sont fluide, posé, avec des moments d’accélération qui marche très bien. vraiment ce que j'aime quand j'écoute de la musique, et ici ça fonctionne bien. Merci pour cet album Slift, et bravo à toutes les équipes qui ont travaillé de près et de loin dessus, c'est un véritable diamant musical. ❤ 💎

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

There is actually a scottish Post Metal band called Dvne that syncs up with Dune. Check them out if you are into Post Metal. They tell their own fictional story about a society called Asheran hugely inspired by Dune. Of course, even their name is inspired by Dune with an v instead of an u in the name.
