Mother Brain deliver the goods on Bank Holiday Monday!
On May 5th we welcome sensational space-gaze duo SKLOSS: surrounded by drums and guitars and the need to play loud, indulging in their heaviest and gentlest impulses all at once, the band blends elements of heavy psychedelia, post-metal drones, meditative drums, and distorted riffs performed with honesty and deliberation. The resulting, powerful atmospheric and dense wall of sound is unique only to SKLOSS.
Supported by London four-piece Troy The Band, who weave together elements of stoner-doom, post rock, heavy psyche and shoegaze!
The SKLOSS project is an offshoot of the duo’s 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 BMX pro 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 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.
SKLOSS have introduced their debut album ‘The Pattern Speaks’ due out 7th March 2025 on London-based label Fuzz Club and engineered/co-produced by Charles Godfrey (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Swans).
Troy The Band is a London-based four piece boasting a distinctive sonic identity that seamlessly weaves together elements of Stoner-doom, post rock, heavy psych, and shoegaze. They released their debut full-length album in 2024 on Sweden’s Bonebag Records.
