About

The Skaters were an American experimental music duo based in San Diego and San Francisco, California, formed by James Ferraro and Spencer Clark. The group released cassettes, CD-Rs, and LPs of their work between 2004 and 2008 and toured the United States and Europe until 2009. They have been regarded as part of the "post-noise psychedelia" movement.

Music journalist Simon Reynolds described the Skaters, along with Ariel Pink, as the "godparents" of hypnagogic pop, and credited a comment made by Ferraro with inspiring the use of the term "hypnagogic". He had also credited the group with catalyzing an "international post-noise network".
