about

‘Swirling in black hole cosmos, “Plugged Into Jupiter” dials in warped delay and misty, ethereal atmospherics on Voices Travel Through This. Skloss indulges in their harshest and gentlest impulses all at once on their debut two-song EP. In opener “Plugged Into Jupiter” a crystalline hush of eerie guitar plucks offers respite only for a second before slamming into a sludge metal barrage. Grinding feedback churns into noise implosion on “Upper Attic,” as disorienting howls and lyrics work into the fray.’ – The Austin Chronicle

Surrounded by drums and quitars 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 (glomat) 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. Jams became songs, while the noise level, experimentation, and distortion went up to a volume much louder than you'd expect from a duo. The sonic sound of SKLOSS became a response to the crazy world just outside their window. The living room became their practice space and place of meditation.
A self-released debut EP Voices Travel Through This' was released in 2022, then following only a handful of dynamic live shows under their belt sharing the stage with acts like The Well, Glorium, and Oryx, SKLOSS were added to play a set at the 2022 Levitation Festival in Austin, TX.
During the rollercoaster Austin, TX winter of 2023, SKLOSS holed up at Point West Studios with engineer Charles Godfrey (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Swans) and recorded their S/T debut LP for release in 2024.
An immersive audio/visual meditative performance and collaboration 'Aether' with Iconic artist Thomas Hooper took place in a concrete culvert at Colab Projects in February 2024 ahead of SKLOSS playing several shows during SXSW.
