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. 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 Divide & Dissolve, Messa, 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 debut LP released March 7th 2025 on Fuzz Club Records.
An immersive audio/visual meditative performance and collaboration ’Aether’ with renown artist Thomas Hooper (whose artwork adorns ‘The Pattern Speaks’) took place in 2024 in a series of avante garde venues- a concrete culvert at Colab Projects, the Iconic Echo Bridge in San Antonio, TX, The James Turrell Skyspace at UT Austin and The Blanton Museum of Art. In 2025 SKLOSS played a marathon 7 shows during the 2025 SXSW festival as official artists before heading to tour the UK and Europe in support of their album.
