Karate
Karate favors quiet control, letting each composition develop slowly. The guitar playing utilizes jazz elements while the rhythm section keeps the tempo measured, resulting in a mood that feels thoughtful and complete for the listener.
Everything was captured with an organic focus to ensure the small details of the playing remain audible. The group demonstrated a refined method of writing that left a distinct mark on the independent rock scene of the late nineties. By holding back rather than rushing, the band allows the weight of their choices to land effectively.
