I put this on while laying on the floor feeling shitty about life, just wanted some background noise. On that first drop, I literally sat up and my jaw dropped. Incredible work
Seriously. I bought the Ilion CD on release. This KEXP recording is superior. Still love the album, but when I want to rock Slift, this is what I play.
They groove on massive reverb treating vocals. I watched Boeckner greet Cheryl Waters before he played with a HI that made me laugh with the amount of effect on his voice. I love it.
Imagine performing at this interstellar level with your brother and your best friend from school! Really, how cool is that? Thanks KEXP for continuing to support SLIFT!!!
I saw them in toulouse (france) a few years ago randomly, i was walking in the street at night with 2 friends and one told me he heard about a concert in a house, it was at the last floor of the house We were like 14 people watching those 3 musicians play and it was amazing
SLIFT SONG TIMESTAMPS 0:36: Illion 14:18: Nimh 24:45: The Words That Have Never Been Heard Another headbanger of a record from Slift. Can't wait to take a trip to the stars when I seem them Live in February
12:20 for anyone wondering, this is a bar of 9/8 and a bar of 7/8 repeated together. i typically count 7/8 as "1 and 2 and 3 and a", 9/8 the same but "4 and a" what makes it really hard to feel comfortably, with that in mind, is that the musical phrase starts on the 2nd beat of the 9/8 bar with a low bass note. so we're feeling music in what ultimately adds up to two very normal 4/4 bars of music *in literal time*, but that time spent getting there is split up in a way that is disorienting and chaotic. it provides a great tension and excitement building up to the release, and what a release! absolutely gargantuan distorted bass chords, heavier than the earth
I saw Slift last night live in a small venue, maybe 100 people at the concert. When that bass line hit, everyone's feet became moleculary fused to the floor. It was awesome.
@@MorningView4 Found out about this band a couple years ago like 3 weeks after they played in Los Angeles. Been counting the days till their next North American tour. Thank fucking god.
Because the french fans are the worst/inexisting... Concerts are just ridiculously expensive in France, and touring is even worse for underground bands here... Slift is a great band!!!
@@chassegardee7694 WTF are you saying? I'll see them tomorrow in Toulouse (THEIR home town, yum yum!) for 21 euros. Nothing in your comment is true... except that Slift is (already) a great band.
Hell fucking yeah!!! In a sea of top 40 garbage, it's refreshing to see rock n' roll is still alive. These guys are tight and fierce. Shout-out to the sound engineer...and the camera crew. Bravo!
Holy shit that bass sound. These boys are amazing. Also for new fans, check out their Levitation session recorded in an electron microscope. It looks like they're powered by a Van de Graaff generator, which is extremely appropriate.
Traditionally, I'm always late to every party. This... Right NOW... is the first time I've heard these lads. Holy shit. I'm just stoked that I got here eventually. Fantastic stuff.
Three past albums and a new one coming in January. They’ve just gotten better as they’ve gone on. Their last album, Ummon, was one of the best albums I’ve heard in years.
I cannot begin to describe the pure joy and delight I'm feeling knowing that the algorithm sent me here to experience this music. it's like I've been transported into a parallel world where these three gentlemen get to live out my dream and make the exact kind of music I wish I could make. the exact kind of sound I want. thank you so much 🥺😭
I follow KEXP Live Performance about 3,4 or 5 years far, not sure, but always nice surprises and in a perfect format. KEXP show us what is going around about new atmosphers sounds! Thanks a lot for sharing! Such a nice work you share with the world. This piece of art, SLIFT, in kexp, i think i heard and saw about 20 times... 😉
This band is the reason I can run a 10K! Was a couch potato and this summer I was struggling through the couch 2 5k program until I started listening to the whole Ummon album. Loved it so much I can run a full 10K to it now! Am still a potato, but at least I can run for an hour and 12 minutes straight 3 times a week 😂.
I’m not gonna let you shunt responsibility… You are the reason you can run a 10K now. Way to go! (Sure, these guys helped, but you did the work!) I was on a team named Updog once. Best running ever.
@@EveOfSeduction Aww I wish I had good lungs- I’m sadly rather asthmatic. These days I just take my inhaler with me, go extra slow, and hope for the best! Maybe a bit reckless but the meds kick in quick enough. If you wanna run, I recommend trying a couch 2 5k and bring your inhaler with you! Good luck 🍀
I took a random chance on the video being pushed to me (having never heard of them), and watched it all the way through. This is some of the best live rock I have heard in a very long time. They not just playing their instruments, they are absolutely summoning something through them. Great work.
I get constant warning of exceeding the noise exposure limit. A musical masterpiece, which is so homogeneous, brilliant, present, crisp and wide-ranging in its intensity and outstanding sound quality that words fail me - runs in a continuous loop. The symbiosis of my favourite bands Vágtázó Halottkémek and Shellac in a new next level, in a higher dimension. Maximum respect and a deep bow to the sound and video engineers. Thanks alot SLIFT and KEXP! See you live in Berlin!
Yep, when I first saw the kexp session of ummon, I immediately bought the vinyl, and then the double vinyl of there first 2 records. They are absolutely up there with my love of gizz and oh sees

My eyes got wide real quick..
28:34 glorious lost-in-space scream-fest
If only there could be a SG drum set
:)
😂
There's a way where there's a will
I once sold shoes in Footlessville
-Shel Silverstein
Hmm... Maybe a "Solid Gretsch"...? Although I think solid drums would sound rather dead.
I think the drummers cymbal used to be cracked in a shape similar to SG horns lol
The KEXP sound engineering team are just on another level. Hats off to them.
Seriously. I bought the Ilion CD on release. This KEXP recording is superior. Still love the album, but when I want to rock Slift, this is what I play.
jean the guitarist mixed this set. like stu mckanzie from king gizz
They're setting the bar 10 miles above the surface 😂
It's gotta be magic
Them, gizz, and OCs are the sound engineer final boss
They groove on massive reverb treating vocals. I watched Boeckner greet Cheryl Waters before he played with a HI that made me laugh with the amount of effect on his voice. I love it.

Finally!
Thats bad ass!!!
shitt i had no clue they were brothers!
that's how they get there, connected for life.
Rock Rock till you drop$$$

What a great experience!!
It’s 4am in Texas and this was recommended on YT…
You have the coolest band in France with the name OVERDRIVERS.
я сам ах14мин.хуел!sorry for may anglish))
That woulda been nuts
would love to see these guys tour with Earthless and Motorpsycho
The Album is so gorgeous its insane. This raises the bar.
"-How much distort and echo you need?
- YES!!!"
🤣
YES YES YES yes yes yes ʸᵉˢ ʸᵉˢ ʸᵉˢ
Wow, speechless. Thank you.
Gojira and Slift, brought to you with love by Southwest France 🤘
brothers from the southwest of France too!
Toulouse brotheeeeeer
Came for the cool looking SG, stayed for that absolute awesome sonic experience.
Same here
Dude. Same.
the guitar is a Daguet SG P90
Same😅
Nothing like throwing some duct tape on a $5,000 guitar 🤔 🤣
SLIFT are just mindblowing. One of the most intense bands on the planet right now.
We're lucky to have them. Give them the love they deserve.
good but there are levels my friend
@@walterlippmann9496I'm rejecting your Pitchfork attitude out to half-court and there's nothing you can do about it
thats fine - I do like that live album though@@CraigBassett
haha what would you recommernt sir?@@walterlippmann9496
There's 3 of them but it sounds like there's 50 of them. HUGE sound.
Holy shit, just wow. This band is right up my street and I just found them.
Ha! I remember that....awesome...
Ummon is one hell of an album
SLIFT SONG TIMESTAMPS
0:36: Illion
14:18: Nimh
24:45: The Words That Have Never Been Heard
Another headbanger of a record from Slift. Can't wait to take a trip to the stars when I seem them Live in February
Caught them in Portland Aug 31st!! You're in for a friggin treat, friend, they're just catching more and more fire lately...
Their live show is SO good dude
Me too, the Manchester gig
Instant fan. The words song is like a universe of sound.
Where did they fall from?
Oh my lord....THE TONES. KEXP has to have the best sound engineers in the game right now.
12:20 for anyone wondering, this is a bar of 9/8 and a bar of 7/8 repeated together. i typically count 7/8 as "1 and 2 and 3 and a", 9/8 the same but "4 and a"
what makes it really hard to feel comfortably, with that in mind, is that the musical phrase starts on the 2nd beat of the 9/8 bar with a low bass note.

@@staceywilber6164 hell yeah, i'm seeing them in two days and gonna be front and center
power power
What a sound. A true powertrio! Doomy and atmospheric without compromising clarity and openness. Plus, give that sound engineer a medal.
Preach. Great mix.
I'm passed the 20 min mark, have it cranked, and do not 'feel' my ears wanting to turn it down. Impressive.
Sounds way better than the mix on the Illion single
@@ravenkliff well I’m glad this is the first time in my life that I heard them.
Both the KEXP and Levitation Sessions sound amazing.
Just saw them for the first time tonight in Zürich. Do yourself a favour. Go see this band live.
Holy sh|t.
Going to see them in Detroit this fall, mate.
@@MorningView4enjoy man 👊🏻 crazy good live.
@@MorningView4 Found out about this band a couple years ago like 3 weeks after they played in Los Angeles. Been counting the days till their next North American tour. Thank fucking god.
this is like All Them Witches, King Gizz and At the Drive In had a glorious child. God I wish a radio station like this existed in Australia.
This is an incredibly accurate comment. Props to your good taste in music, friend.
I first thought of Thee O Sees :)
I'm in the hospital and this took my pain away. Thank you.
He unlocked the second part of his beard!
bien joué les gars.... ça décoiffe.
I am jealous of the drummer's perfect hair even through all the power.
The french metal seen is grossly underrated internationally
Because the french fans are the worst/inexisting... Concerts are just ridiculously expensive in France, and touring is even worse for underground bands here... Slift is a great band!!!
Oui tu peu le dire mon ami!
i've just seen them in paris for 24 euros... which is a fair price... and they were AWESOME!!!!!!!

Hell fucking yeah!!! In a sea of top 40 garbage, it's refreshing to see rock n' roll is still alive. These guys are tight and fierce. Shout-out to the sound engineer...and the camera crew. Bravo!
absolutely insane
Glad to see they are still using the same s.g's after the years
The future of guitar rock is solid. Holy fucking hell, what a performance.
My favourite medieval-space-kraut-progrock dudes keep berserking on 🙂🔥🌠
That’s a lot of sound from just three dudes. Glad I stumbled onto this powerhouse
Holy crap this is mixed perfect. Awesome band
1:36 And my mind.... !!!!!!!!EXPLODE!!!!!!!! In México we use an expression for this...¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡SU PINCHE MADRE!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOW....!!!!!
Need these guys in Australia ASAP. They'd kill as an opener for Gizz
I can’t imagine playing AFTER this band though 😂
Yeah Gizz might have to open for these guys.
I'd love to attend that dual concert until sunrise 🎉👽 😂
Slift
Psychedelic porn crumpets
Gizz
Would go so hard
Hope the Gizzboys are considering getting them signed to their own newly reformed PDoom Records label! (previously K.G.L.W.) 😤
How the fuck did this band get even better, my mind is simply blown away.
The guitar tone
The bass tone
The drum tone
That's a lot of tone
Plus synth tone and any pre-recorded or pre-programmed 'tones.'
@@markbuchholtzSacramentoCAUSA tone tones
You could say a tonne of tones!
Loopy tones
There's a whole universe of great tone when you learn how to stop scooping the fucking mids.
WTH !! so intense
I had chills the whole time
Holy shit that bass sound. These boys are amazing. Also for new fans, check out their Levitation session recorded in an electron microscope. It looks like they're powered by a Van de Graaff generator, which is extremely appropriate.
Seriously. Makes me want to run out and buy a short scale bass NOW. Any idea what it is?
@@sambennett5203The instrument maker is Dauget (or something very close)
Haha. That's not an electron microscope bro. But it was certainly cool
Traditionally, I'm always late to every party. This... Right NOW... is the first time I've heard these lads. Holy shit. I'm just stoked that I got here eventually. Fantastic stuff.
Same story - BOOM - big fan, right away, fell in to the "soundhole" after 2 songs!
Check out the previous KEXP session they did. It should blow your mind.
Three past albums and a new one coming in January. They’ve just gotten better as they’ve gone on. Their last album, Ummon, was one of the best albums I’ve heard in years.

I will confess, I clicked here hoping that Slint had reformed and this was a typo.
The good news is, I am not disappointed.
I kept turning up the volume throughout this performance

Slift are the gigantic unstoppable asteroid we stare at, transfixed, mesmerised, before sweet sweet oblivion :-)
Some French rocket fuel that we don't deserve, but need. Love these boys.
Sounds Great!
And kexp delivered me an other astonishing band I didn’t know abaut!
I didn't think anything could top Slift's KEXP session from 2020, but here we are. This is ultimate.
brooo their LEVITATION sessions is fucking insaaaaaaane, be sure to check that one out if you haven't already!
Thank'YOU Seattle ❣️
Never heard this band.
No words.
Incredible.
Their previous set on KEXP was fire as well... if you haven't already found it yet.
@@mrzimothy thanks man
@@daniele.82 watch their levitation set!
Happy deep dive time. Their last album was an absolute masterpiece.
That bass ROARS at 1:36
i've got huge Radio Moscow vibe from them ! it's awesome
Discovered these guys through KEXP, so happy to have another session!
amazing! i'm total addicted!
Saludos desde COLOMBIA!! The World needs more bands like this !! ♥♥♥
saw them live 2 days ago, don't hesitate, they are epic
Christ! These guys fucking rock hard!
Well these guys fuckin' rock.
My faith in humanity has been restored after seeing this performance, jaw dropping 😮
That's quite a powerful sound that you have there. Slift.
KEXP shows are the best sounding music on YT
Tiny desk has better sound
I discovered this band in a french festival... Amazing sound great
so goooood
KEXP, THANK YOU FOR CONSISTENTLY SHOWCASING MUSICIANS WITH AMAZING AND HELLA DIVERSE SOUNDS THAT IM NOT SURE ID STUMBLE UPON ELSEWHERE!
If you like this, the AustinTV set is dope. They're a really cool post rock band out of Mexico
Mars Volta really went back to their roots and I’m for it!
Very very good. The Best power trio.

They were summoning the cat that comes tomorrow! 😼
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!🙀
Summoning the infinite universe
Don't you just how they always work for the best?
Check out the other session they did in 2019 here for KEXP. totally worth your time.
Damn what kind of rock have I been living under and why I am only hearing of these dudes now.
A heavy rock.
Thanks KEXP. I found another band to love.
One of the best bands in the world 🔥👽
Yes! Agreed
Oh yes, you’re so damned right! These guys are a sensation 🤘
No doubt
No
They have some good song I would not say best cos there is no room for the rest
What! The! Fcuk! Did I just experience?!?!? Sober af and I’m tripping balls rn.
Y’all are amazing! ❤

I love Them they make me happy 😊
Slift the future of the space rock🔥
This Band who is echo enchanter
drummer is COOKIN on that first track.
hell yeah this band rips.
Best three piece performance since All Them Witches stopped by without Allan that one time.
The two best heavy rock acts on earth right now
The production quality and sound of the videos on this channel is awesome. Talented crew behind the scenes.
Great Band....Monster Guitarist!!!!!!
MASSIVE
YESSSS SLIFT ON KEXP HELL YESSSS
I'm experiencing shivers like never before.
These dudes are next level.
Spot On!
This was just a month ago..... I am so bummed I missed them. My new favorite band \m/
Damn, I want to see them live!
I first discovered these guys because of their previous KEXP performance and I'm SO STOKED to see them back! Hell yeah, SLIFT are absolute beasts.
Same. They've become a favorite of mine.
Yep, when I first saw the kexp session of ummon, I immediately bought the vinyl, and then the double vinyl of there first 2 records. They are absolutely up there with my love of gizz and oh sees
Thankyou thankyou thankyou brothers. Come to australia.
Supernatural talent.
Dont know what is the most amazing, that incredible band, or the kexp's sound engineer
Holy Crap! They hit like a mack truck. Glad I heard them. New fan..Saw SG with P90's...Clicked. Love me some P90 goodness I do!
Oh la la magnifique
