Alright butt… crank the amps, spill your pint, and prepare your brain for lift-off — because Slift are BACK and they’re not here to gently re-enter the scene…

They’re here to obliterate it completely 😈🎸

🌌 FROM TOULOUSE TO TOTAL TAKEOVER

Hailing from Toulouse, this psych-rock trio have been bubbling under for years like a dodgy festival portaloo ready to explode 💥

Formed in 2016 by brothers Jean Fossat and Rémi Fossat — alongside longtime mate and drum destroyer Canek Flores — Slift have built a cult following the old-school way:

👉 Word of mouth
👉 Face-melting live shows
👉 Riffs that sound like they’ve been beamed in from another dimension

After signing with the mighty Sub Pop in 2023 (yeah, that Sub Pop — the one that unleashed Nirvana onto the world 👀), they dropped Ilion in 2024 and started properly turning heads.

Now?

They’re going for the jugular.

⚔️ FANTASIA — NOT JUST AN ALBUM… A FULL-ON RIFF REVOLUTION

Landing June 5, Fantasia isn’t your standard “stick it on while you do the washing up” record.

Nah mate — this is:

💀 Heavy
🌪 Chaotic
🧠 Existential
🔥 Proper angry at the state of the world

Sub Pop themselves have basically said this album is staring directly into the chaos of modern life — climate disaster, human nonsense, all the grim stuff that makes you want to scream into the void…

But instead of sulking?

Slift are choosing violence (the musical kind, calm down 😅).

“Not just a way to disrupt the status quo, but perhaps to destroy it completely.”

OI OI 😤 that’s what we’re talking about.

This is music for when everything feels broken — and you decide to fight back with a wall of noise and a pit that could swallow a small village.

🎧 FIRST SINGLE? IT SLAPS LIKE A DRUMSTICK TO THE FACE

The first taste of Fantasia is already out there — and trust us…

👉 It’s swirling
👉 It’s massive
👉 It’s got that “lost in space but still moshing” energy

Think cosmic doom meets garage fury with a sprinkle of “what the hell just happened to my speakers?”

Lovely stuff 🤘

🧠 RIFF REPORT VERDICT — THIS COULD BE A BIG ONE, BUTT

Let’s not mess about…

When Sub Pop start throwing around hype like “best since the ‘90s,” you sit up and listen — because that’s the era that rewrote rock history.

And Slift?

They’ve got the sound, the chaos, and the attitude to back it up.

This isn’t nostalgia.
This isn’t safe.

This is forward-thinking, riff-heavy, brain-melting madness 🔥
