2LP LOSER edition yellow vinyl
In the technical sense, every previous album by the radiant and heavy French trio Slift has been a fantasia - a composite of genres and forms that allowed the band to improvise, to jam on themes until they seemed to spiral together into space. Their acclaimed third album, 2024's "Ilion", was a sci-fi story built with 10- to 13-minute exploratory escapades, often starting with doom metal or stoner rock before spinning freely into glorious instrumental oblivion. But, in a bit of intentional irony, Slift's fourth album is actually called "Fantasia". It's their leanest and most direct record to date. It is also their most riveting album yet, a pointed saga about overcoming international upheaval delivered by a band bearing down, not wasting a single second in the process. Slift reckons directly with the modern onslaught of cruelty and absurdity on "Fantasia", whether that's not caring about our home planet or one another. But these eight songs are about trusting in some hidden power for fighting back, for believing in a world where something we cannot yet articulate or define offers not just a way to disrupt the status quo but perhaps to destroy it completely.
