SLIFT
Sharing the French noise rock band SLIFT, whom I stumbled across over the Christmas break.
There will likely be a lot of music shared in this journal. From bands to songs to playlists, sharing music is one of my favorite things to do, and I spend a fair amount of time each week listening to old favorites and new finds.
One of those new finds is the French noise rock band SLIFT, whom I stumbled across over the Christmas break. Let’s ask AI to define them:
SLIFT is a French psychedelic rock band from Toulouse, France. The band was formed in 2014 and consists of three members: Nicolas Gricourt (vocals and guitar), Jérémie Sauvage (bass) and Antoine Michel (drums). The band's music is influenced by a variety of genres, including psychedelic rock, garage rock, and space rock, and is known for its heavy, guitar-driven sound and intense live performances. SLIFT has released several albums, including "La Planète Inexplorée" (2016), "Ummon" (2018), and "Space is the Key" (2020).
Pretty good. Anyway, SLIFT was one of those classic finds for me: a song—in this case, their new single “Unseen”—shows up in some playlist I’m listening to. (Honestly, I don’t know which one or how I found it.) Next thing you know, I’m diving deep into their back catalog. Good stuff. Above is their Live on KEXP performance from a few years back.
