SKLOSS, recently dropped “Mind Hive”, the final single off their debut album The Pattern Speaks, available March 7th 2025 via label Fuzz Club (The Jesus and Mary Chain) engineered/co-produced by Charles Godfrey (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Swans).

On ‘Mind Hive’ the band say: “Mind meld over matter, MIND HIVE is about conscious anger for good, setting boundaries for what one will accept, and putting on the brakes for self-care and regrouping in the face of mounting obstacles.”

SKLOSS formed in Austin, TX as a husband-and-wife duo between American drummer/vocalist Karen Skloss (Moving Panoramas) and Scottish guitarist/vocalist Sandy Carson (Iglomat) during the COVID lockdown. Surrounded by drums and amps and the need to play loud, the sonic 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.

The duo first performed a set at the 2022 Levitation Festival. An immersive audio/visual meditative performance and collaboration ’Aether’ with renowned artist Thomas Hooper (whose artwork adorns ‘The Pattern Speaks’) took place in a concrete culvert at Colab Projects in February 2024 ahead of several shows during SXSW. The same cosmic performance was taken to the Iconic Echo Bridge in San Antonio, TX and most recently the James Turrell Skyspace at UT Austin.

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.
