Karate Announce First New Album In 20 Years

In 2022, Karate reunited for their first shows in 17 years. Today, the jazz-inflected post-hardcore band is back with the announcement of Make It Fit, their first album since 2004’s Pockets. The singles "Defendants" and "Silence, Sound" are out now.

Make It Fit was recorded with longtime collaborator Andy Hong in Nashville this past January, with Geoff Farina adding guitars and vocals at his home studio and Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio. "Defendants" serves as the LP opener, and "Silence, Sound" operates as the finale. Hear both below.
