You guys know 90s indie better than I do: does Codeine factor into Karate's DNA at all?

I was pleased to see the CD box arrive, as I hoped up thread, but not sure I’ll buy it as I’ve bought all the vinyl reissues. That does leave me a little short of the full catalogue, though.

that boxset contains a good amount of stuff that i would consider the folk music of my early 20s. this band means so much to me.
i mainly wanted to see if there was any talk about the box, but also really wanted to post "airport"-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7CjYuNrlVY

Honestly I've not yet cracked open my box. Holding it for a quiet winter day to delve into more deeply, unless I get impatient before then.

pls post thoughts when that happens.

questions you'd most like to ask musicians:so geoff farina, frontman of famed 90s jazz obsessed boston slowcore kids karate, why you so worried about people gettin water in their pockets?
(seriously: mentions it on the first album. talked about it so much that it got to a point where the last album was named after the concept. what gives, geoff?)

New album! Haven't had a chance to stream the new songs, but this was an instant pre-order.

First one is fine enough, but yes, "Silence, Sound" is what I need. Stoked for this!

ha yeah the first one is kinda stones-y in a way that i wouldn't have ever expected of them. second song is more classic-issue karate, and it's the good stuff.

new material has reminded me that geoff farina is the american equivalent to roddy frame. what a national treasure.
