SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator / Retired Admin

Toulouse, France power trio, Slift, gets deeper into their ongoing space themed output with Ummon, a concept album which is based on Homer's Odyssey. The band hangs on loosely to its psychedelic, jam-band roots, but the compositions and sonic impression become more expansive with the use of wider reverb effects and more use of electronics than the previous album, La Plan�te Inexplor�e. Guitarist Jean Fossat's retains its retro fuzzy sludge tone, but incorporates more ethereal textures during the more frequent mellow sections. Nowhere is this more evident than in what is arguably the highlight of the album, Citadel on a Satellite, where additionally the integration of synthesizers becomes increasingly important to the musical mosaic.

Compared to previous work, the bands compositions are allowed more time to breath and settle into completeness. The playing and recording process has gained a more mature attention to dynamics without sacrificing the groove and flow. There is a thoughtfulness going on upstairs while the psychedelic fueled party continues in the basement.

Ummon is an outstanding album that is a testament to a young bands musical growth. While this trio is yet to peak, this is an outstanding addition to any progressive rock collection and absolutely essential to fans of Space/Psychedelic/Stoner Rock. 4 stars.
