Slift, the mighty Slift as we are obliged to call them around here, one of the fineast bands around right, Slift have just said “our new album Fantasia will cross the mirror and hit your town via Sub Pop Records next June 5th!” This of course is very good news, we rather like Slift, of their previous album, their 2024 Sub Pop debut Ilion we said “this is massive, everything about Slift is massive, this is a towering album, exhilarating, more than that though, these songs are big…” 

Slift go on to say “you can now preorder the record and other new artifacts via sliftrock.com.  In the meantime, we’re beyond excited to share with you A Storm of Wings, a song now available everywhere. Infinite love and respect to all of you who keep art alive. We’ll see you on tour, until then, watch your feet in this perilous world and follow the moths… A storm of wings is coming!”.

Here comes the first taste via Bandcamp… (other links should you choose)
