‘The Pattern Speaks’ is the debut album from Austin via Glasgow space-gaze duo SKLOSS, blending heavy psychedelia, post-metal drones, meditative drums, and raw distorted riffs performed with honesty and deliberation. Across these eight equally pulverising and ethereal tracks, the result is a powerful, atmospheric and reverberating wall of sound that indulges SKLOSS’ heaviest and gentlest sonic impulses all at once. 

SKLOSS first formed in Austin, TX as a husband-and-wife duo between drummer Karen Skloss (Moving Panoramas) and guitarist Sandy Carson (Igolmat) during the COVID lockdown. Surrounded by drums and amps and the need to play loud, the sound of SKLOSS became a response to the crazy world just outside their window. Jams became songs, while the noise level, experimentation and distortion went up to a volume much louder than you’d expect from a duo. “Living next to the woods has something to do with it. We started to use music as an outlet, like most everyone during that time, we were so cooped up,” says Skloss. 

A self-released debut EP 'Voices Travel Through This' was released in 2022 and after sharing the stage with acts like Divide & Dissolve, Messa, The Well, Glorium, and Oryx, SKLOSS performed a set at the 2022 Levitation Festival. Then, during the rollercoaster Austin winter of 2023 and spring of 2024, the pair holed up at Point West Studios with engineer Charles Godfrey (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Swans) and recorded their debut LP. The formidable ‘The Pattern Speaks’ is now set to arrive March 7th 2025 via London-based record label Fuzz Club.

Outside of the new creative frontiers explored with the band, Skloss is also a filmmaker who has been on Barack Obama’s pick list and edited seminal films about artists Syd Barrett and Townes Van Zandt, and Carson is a former professional BMX pro rider turned photographer and cinematographer.
