Slift's 'Fantasia': Dystopian Sounds from Toulouse

French psych-post-metal trio Slift releases their fourth album 'Fantasia', a dystopian concept record set in a fictional city. The band, known for their unique blend of synthesizer textures and drumming, continues their fight against evil through music. The album follows their acclaimed predecessor 'Ilion' and features tracks like 'Corrupted Sky' and 'The Sky of Execution', depicting a city where little good happens. Highlights include the driving 'The Village' and the apocalyptic 'A Storm of Wings'. The band consists of Jean Fossat (vocals, synthesizer, guitar), his brother on bass, and a school friend on drums, whose tight-knit unit is their strength. Fossat's screaming vocals draw comparisons to Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys. The album is noted for its homogeneity and directness, marking a departure from their previous work. The review was published on kulturnews.de, highlighting the band's significance in the French rock scene.
