SKLOSS

Surrounded by drums and amps and the need to play loud, indulging in their heaviest and gentlest impulses all at once, SKLOSS blends elements of heavy psychedelia, post-metal drones, meditative drums, and distorted riffs performed with honesty and deliberation. The result is a powerful atmospheric wall of Space Gaze unique only to SKLOSS.

The duo’s project is an offshoot of their lives as creative professionals. Karen Skloss, a filmmaker who has been on Barack Obama’s pick list and edited seminal films about artists Syd Barrett and Townes Van Zandt, and Sandy Carson, a former professional BMX pro rider turned photographer & cinematographer, enjoy new creative frontiers with the project.

“Living next to the woods has something to do with it,” says Carson. SKLOSS originally formed as a husband-wife duo between guitarist Carson (Iglomat) and drummer Skloss (Moving Panoramas) during the COVID lockdown. “We started to use music as an outlet, like most everyone during that time, we were so cooped up,” says SKLOSS. Their sonic sound became a response to the crazy world just outside their window. The living room became their practice space and place of meditation.
