'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 (Iglomat) 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 youd expect from a duo.
