From the archive: SLIFT at KEXP

A archive pick for the video section: French heavy-psych trio SLIFT's full KEXP session, recorded 7 December 2019 and uploaded to KEXP's official YouTube channel. The band — brothers Jean and Rémi Fossat on guitar/vocals/synth and bass, plus drummer Canek Flores — were still on their second album Ummon at the time; the performance helped the record go viral during the 2020 lockdowns and brought the Toulouse group international attention. The set leans into the motorik-driven, fuzz-heavy space rock that defines their sound, bridging garage aggression and Hawkwind-scale cosmic drift. SLIFT have since released Ilion (2024) on Sub Pop and Fantasia (2026), but this KEXP session remains the definitive live document of their early breakthrough.
