Slark Moan is the New York based, indie rock artist and alter ego of multi-instrumentalist Annie Taylor Sloan. Her music is a cocktail of angular indie-rock hooks, colorful chord progressions, and virtuosic jazz solos, bathing in a pool of guitar forward psychedelia.

Slark Moan spent much of the last decade as a session guitarist in Nashville, Tennessee, recording and performing with acclaimed acts, including: Torres, Erin Rae, Margo Price, Meg Elsier, and SG Goodman. The dexterous guitar style that she developed during those early Nashville years seeps into her solo productions, complementing the melodic intuition of a veteran of the stage and recording studio.

Slark Moan’s debut album “Superstition For the Consumer Romantic” received praise from American Songwriter Magazine and NPR affiliate KCRW. Her follow up release, “Four Horses”, a record born out of the pandemic, caught the attention of Spotify’s editorial staff, with placements on popular playlists, “Hanging Out and Relaxing” and “Chill Folk”.

After the pandemic, Slark Moan relocated to NYC and continued to tour as a member of SG Goodman’s band, playing bass, guitar, and pedal steel. In between tours, opening for Americana superstars Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, and Shakey Graves, Slark Moan regularly performed with her trio in NYC, building a strong following on account of her draw dropping live show.

Slark Moan’s 2024 Tiny Desk Contest video was featured as the “desk of the day”, rising above 6000 entries. Slark Moan collaborated with producer, Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor, Hinds.) on her 2024 EP “The Return of Guitar Music”. In support of the release, Slark Moan toured the Northeast opening for Liz Cooper and the band Joseph.
