KARATE • Pockets • LP • Pre-Order

Numero Group
Release date: 17. April 2026

Karate’s defiant and final studio album rounds out a 12-year discography that ranges from hardcore-like catharsis to feedback-saturated improvisations. This 2004 classic eschewed the Friendster migration in favor of a back-to-basics approach to songwriting, infused with jazz phrasing and beat-inspired lyrics. Remastered from the original analog tapes by Chris Brokaw, the guitarist of Codeine/Come, Pockets comes in a deluxe sleeve with reproduced lyrics.
