Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant
7 October 2023
French psych-prog-rock generator SLIFT announced their 6th LP,
named ILION. Along with the news comes the title track.
About: “It’s the opening track and the first song we composed for this record. Due to its structure in “drawers,” with different movements, it represents the album as a whole. It
depicts monuments to ancient gods rising skyward from the dusty desert floor of a dying
planet, battered by fierce winds. It’s about the people condemned to live on this desolate land. And about the murderers of this world, who leave it for space and the hope of a new world, in
a frantic crusade which will lead them to madness.”
It’s an 11-minute escapade that zigzags with ups and downs, loud and silent fragments,
and an overall what the fuck is going on resonance. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will
love this crazy chaos.
Press play.
