== Summary ==
Slift is a French trio from the Toulouse area whose music combines [[Psychedelic rock|psychedelic rock]], heavy riffing and expansive ensemble playing.<ref name="slift-ilion">[https://www.subpop.com/releases/slift/ilion Sub Pop: Slift, Ilion release notes]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== Contemporary and trending ==
''Fantasia'', released in June 2026, turns toward more compact songs after the long forms of ''Ilion''. Sub Pop's account describes the musicians deliberately tightening arrangements while retaining the complexity of their earlier playing.<ref name="slift-bio">[https://www.subpop.com/artists/slift Sub Pop: Slift, Fantasia biography]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== History ==
Jean and Rémi Fossat and Canek Flores formed the band in 2016. The EP ''Space Is the Key'' and the album ''La Planète inexplorée'' preceded ''Ummon'' (2020); ''Ilion'' followed in 2024.<ref name="slift-ilion" />

== Music and repertoire ==
The early recordings connect garage-rock energy with stoner-rock weight. ''Ilion'' develops long, multi-part pieces with the scale associated with [[Post-rock|post-rock]], as well as metal intensity and psychedelic guitar. These stylistic connections describe the band's materials; a reviewer's comparison with another act is not automatically proof of a direct personal influence. ''Fantasia'' introduces a different organizing influence: Jean Fossat's interest in Jorge Luis Borges and the use of an imagined town to explore politics and social reality.<ref name="slift-ilion" /><ref name="slift-bio" />

== Members and collaborators ==
Jean Fossat plays guitar and sings, Rémi Fossat plays bass, and Canek Flores plays drums. The trio's long-running rehearsal relationship is central to both extended improvisatory passages and the later, more concise writing.<ref name="slift-bio" />
