It's hard to say if my appreciation for The Bed Is in the Ocean inspired me to listen to it over and over each evening for two straight weeks in November, or if it's actually the other way around. Regardless, Karate has created songs worthy of my deepest affection. Intimate journal entries set to a hypnotic guitar and forthright snare, Karate is best vehicle to demonstrate the magnitude of Farina's talent. Collaborating with Jeffrey Goddard and Gavin McCarthy, Geoff's masterful guitar riffs and passionate vocals become just parts of a more sophisticated picture. Kudos: The lack of published song titles just give this album more continuity. The poetic novel set to fine music. |
