It's a pretty thin line between a heavy psych (and by extension a space rock) record and a stoner metal one. But the question shouldn't really be "Is Slift metal now?" but rather "Is Slift heavy enough to work in the same way a metal band would?".

Alright, this is a weird listen. But not a bad one at all! I’m halfway through my first listen, and I’ve already experienced quite a few memorably moments, and a lot of variation. Weaver’s Weft just startes playing while I was typing, and god damn. It’s a long album, but definetaly deserves a second chance to really unfold it’s brilliance.

Ok, this album is ridiculously long but there's so many remarkable moments that make the whole listening experience worth while, and certainly one to keep coming back to, for instance; the intro to "Confluence" is beyond mesmerizing, but there's some excellent instrumentation and well crafted synth work throughout.

This band bring so many elements and styles to the table from 70s psychedelic and progressive rock, to post-rock and some kinda experimental stoner, the only other band that springs to mind when listening to this is King Gizzard.

This is one of the best discoveries for me, this year. I was checking their KEXP videos and these guys are so talented. Love their sci-fi interpretation of psychedelic rock. Absolutely next level.
