The Goslings


The Goslings are an American drone rock and noise rock band from Florida, United States, with releases on labels such as Not Not Fun Records, Crucial Blast Records, and Archive Recordings. The core members of the band are husband and wife duo Leslie Soren and Max Soren, with a rotating roster of drummers which included Brendan Grubb, Adel Souto, Rick Smith, Paul Leroy and Steve Carrera.
The Goslings' sound is often characterized as "lo-fi," noisy, and heavy, but also beautiful and psychedelic. The group have self-recorded all of their albums on cassette or reel-to-reel tape, are somewhat reclusive and have never toured. They have issued a number of releases since forming in 2002 but their signature album is considered to be Grandeur of Hair.
The Goslings went on hiatus following the 2009 release of a limited edition double cassette, Sister and Son / Death Garage. Both Leslie and Max remained musically inactive until 2025, when the group released a new album featuring "early recordings finally finished", Plexuses, Planes, with a second volume expected to follow.
