My Sleeping Karma Finish Recording New Album; Studio Update Videos Posted
My Sleeping Karma have been on my mind of late. Last month, they posted a full-show set from Berlin in 2017, and they’ve been eeking out updates on their next full-length all the while. Like, going back to a mid-2020 song snippet “all the while.” That’ll be at least two years by the time the album shows up — and if it comes out on Napalm as I’ve been assuming it will, it’ll show up only as a stream because that’s the world we live in — and certainly it was in discussion before that. Seeing as the band will play Desertfest in Berlin and London this Spring, to think they’d get the record in the can now means that, if they push it through mixing and mastering, they could feasibly play a release show at one or the other. Three-month promo time, and so on.
The prog-heavy almost-entirely-instrumentalists have been held back by health issues — on top of the health issues that have held everything back — and more besides over the years since their last studio release, which was 2015’s Moksha (review here), which found them branching out arrangement-wise to add flourish to a sound that’s lush even at its rawest. The seven-year differential is less brutal when one considers 2017’s Mela Ananda – Live (review here), but the news that the album has finished the recording process is nothing if not welcome.
The last installment of the video update series was shared along with confirmation that the record’s done.
From social media:
Dear friends,
We´re done with the recording process for our upcoming album. So here is the last studio snippets movie about soundboard recording.
Even if most of the parts are already worked out during rehearsals – there is always some room for creativity – especially for the soundboard. We´d like to share a small piece of this creative process.
Our next task is to mix the whole thing.
We will keep you informed.
Love
The Karma-guys
