KARKARA
Toulouse, FR
Psych-Rock
A deluge of uninterrupted psychedelic rock that's both soaring and hypnotic, transporting you to a post-apocalyptic setting on the brink of implosion.
Formed in Toulouse in 2019, with two albums to their credit on the English label Stolen Body Records and a hundred or so concerts in Europe, the power trio return in 2024 with their third opus "All Is Dust" and add to their signing to Stolen Body, two new labels well known to indie rock aficionados, namely: EXAG' Records in Belgium, Le Cèpe in France. On stage, KARKARA manage to convey a hypnotic fury and reveal to the audience a sound, an identity and an energy that instantly grabs you by the gut. Fans of "wah wah" and repetitive "boom boom kraut" wrapped in exotic sounds from the other side of the Mediterranean, it's travel and trance that are at the heart of this project.
