Slift – “Fearless Eye”

French psych band Slift split their latest release, La Planète Inexplorée, across five labels (which seems excessive) and they herald its release with an ambitious video that’s pure psychedelic sci-fi. “Fearless Eye” worms through glassy, liquid string plucks before exploding into a fuzz-gut explosion of guitar, spacey flutes and tumbling drums. While their last EP showed promise but got stuck in the wake of Thee Oh Sees, this taste of the upcoming album finds them carving out their own ferocious niche. The song’s got bite and the video brings to life the band’s hallucinogenic album covers by Pierre Ferrero, following the travails of a cosmic knight who travels space and time. Seems like with that many labels on board you ought to be able to snag a copy when the album lands in September.
