KARMACODA are a San Francisco based band comprised of Jessica Ford (vocals), founding member Brett Crockett (aka B. on vocals and producer) and Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist Eric Matsuno (bass and other unique elements). They have announced the release of a new album called Slow Down, Melt and Catch Fire which will be out on July 2nd via Sola Musa Music. Pre-order is available here.
B. tells us his thoughts on the album: “Slow Down, Melt and Catch Fire is the most personal and meaningful record we’ve ever made. I think that’s partly due to the events of 2020 and a great deal to do with how I responded to it. As a writer, musician and producer it felt like the world got more “real” and we needed to explore those feelings and see where it took us.”
Jessica further elaborates: “We wrote these songs through phone voice recordings, email and text while COVID was happening. B. Would send me music ideas and tracks to write to that he had made. I would sift through them and listen looking for inspiration. Once I got some ideas going I would record my ideas on my iPhone while the track was playing on my computer and text them over to see if he liked where it was all going. If he did, I would continue working on the songs. The only song that was done before COVID was the first one, Dream On, which appropriately starts the album off. Once we got them all finished we went into the studio just the 2 of us, masked and in separate rooms and recorded all the vocals in one day.”
