Karate announce first new album in two decades, Make It Fit

Indie rock/slowcore icons Karate have announced their first new music in 20 years. On October 25, the group will release Make It Fit via Numero Group. The band has shared two new songs from the album, “Defendants” and “Silence, Sound,” which are the album’s opener and closer, respectively. Hear them below.

Karate have recently been touring after recently reuniting, coinciding with a Numero Group catalog reissue campaign. The band’s Geoff Farina said in a statement, “I appreciate that I’m playing a show. I used to get up on stage and be annoyed at this and be annoyed at that. Now I get up on stage and feel incredibly lucky. Just being able to do it again is so much fun. Just hearing us together on stage feels so right.”
