Biography
Bobby Krlic (born 20 December 1985), known by his stage name The Haxan Cloak, is a British composer, artist, music producer, and musician.
The Haxan Cloak has released two full-length albums (2011's The Haxan Cloak and 2013's Excavation). As a producer, Krlic has worked with artists including Björk, Father John Misty, Khalid, Troye Sivan, Goldfrapp,serpentwithfeet, and The Body.
He has also composed several soundtracks, credited under his real name, including Ari Aster's 2019 horror film Midsommar, and television series Snowpiercer, Angel of Darkness and Reprisal.
Krlic's first release as The Haxan Cloak was the Observatory E.P., landing as a cassette via Aurora Borealis on Halloween 2010. A year later, Krlic recorded his first album, The Haxan Cloak, in his parents' shed using strings, mics, and a laptop, playing every instrument himself.
The second LP, Excavation, was released in 2013, and has a more electronic feel, using samples and heavy bass, along with distorted field recordings made by Krlic.
In 2012, The Haxan Cloak released a limited edition, one-track, 27-minute live recording, The Men Parted the Sea to Devour the Water, as a part of Southern Records' Latitudes series.
Krlic has also released remixes of songs by other artists under The Haxan Cloak, including Father John Misty Foals, and Björk.
