about

Sloths, from Portland Oregon, play music that is dark, fast, noisy and enveloping. Dynamically created by three musicians, Sloths songs are simultaneously expansive, exacting and emotionally charged. The guitars skirt from nihilistic noise to haunted bouts of swirling melody while spazzy drums flail from blast beats to d beats to cymbal-destroying grooves; the music is anchored by sludge laden, riff focused bass playing and accented by shredded throat vocals. Formed in late 2010 with the goal of creating heavy music without boundaries, Sloths have released a demo and two EPs and have extensively toured the west coast as well as covering the majority of the US last August.

They have just finished recording a trio of songs at Haywire Studios (Nux Vomica, Honduran) that will become an EP titled “Twenty Years” to be released later summer/early fall. The songs are connected musically and thematically with recurring melodies that are altered by their sonic surroundings and lyrics that examine what it means to die young. The lyrics are influenced by the recent death of a friend and the perspective gained by seeing the aftermath of such a tragedy. The music maneuvers through a range of tones and moods, all colored by the bleak subject matter yet accented by a flickering lightness that hints at acceptance while serving to render its surroundings in even darker shades. Sloths plan to tour in order to promote this new material in August.
