Karate

Clean, mathematical guitar lines meet the unhurried swing of a smoky jazz club. Precise 90s indie rock for late nights and deep focus.

March 18, 1996 · Numero Group

A restless, caffeinated contemplation that finds comfort in technical precision and quiet spaces.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden shift from the sparse, clean intro of Gasoline into the driving, distorted release of the chorus.

The intricate, interlocking guitar and bass patterns on What Is Sleep? that mimic the circular thoughts of insomnia.

The way Caffeine or Me? dissolves into a repetitive, jittery mantra that perfectly captures the physical sensation of too much espresso.
