SKLOSS

SKLOSS + Divided Banging, atmospheric and spacy rock by Scottish-American duo and four-headed Belgian beast with a solid reputation Saturday 10 May 2025 Start: 20:30 You (maybe) don't know them, but soon you won't be able to do without them. SKLOSS is an American/Scottish duo that has just fired their debut album 'The Pattern Speaks' at the world. Not a graze, but a complete hit if you ask us. Released on the London label Fuzz Club and produced by Charles Godfrey (Swans), this album is a very nice display of ability. ‘The Pattern Speaks‘ combines heavy psychedelia, post-metal, drones, meditative drums and raw riffs into an infectious and atmospheric whole. SKLOSS was formed in Austin, Texas, by American drummer/vocalist Karen Skloss (Moving Panoramas) and Scottish guitarist/vocalist Sandy Carson (Iglomat) during the COVID lockdown. Surrounded by drums and amplifiers and the need to play loud, SKLOSS’ sonic sound became a reaction to the crazy world outside their window. Jams became songs, while the noise level, experimentation and distortion became much louder than you would expect from a duo. “The fact that we live near the woods has something to do with that. We started using music as an outlet, like most people at that time, we were so cooped up,” says Skloss. Divided Fast-growing West-Flemish with a solid live reputation This four-headed Belgian beast will soon knock you over with sludgy riffs, hardcore grooves, a post-metallic shoegaze vibe and cutting vocals. They are called Divided, and you may have seen that name on concert posters. They have already been allowed to perform on the stages of the better concert halls (4AD was shamelessly missing from that list) and played with bands such as Brutus, Psychonaut, Wiegedood, Stake and went on tour as support for the American Shy, Low. And all that with one EP. After their travels they went into the studio to record their first long player ‘Light Will Shine’, an album that Dansende Beren gave a very enthusiastic four and a half stars. Their motivation: “Divided makes a crushing impression with their debut album. It is excellent how the young band already sounds so mature. With the enormous thrust and dedication that radiates from Light Will Shine, we would not be surprised if the band appears on the radar of many festivals.” High time to experience the Divided phenomenon live yourself.
