Adult Karate
Adult Karate, oka LA artist/producer K.C. Maloney presents the follow up to last year’s LXII EP with close listen to the new Indoors EP available today from Plug Research Records. The artist takes a variety of dance elements associated with various pop-cultural movements and organizes the production approach to make new expressions & implied meanings that further enrich the inspired source genre materials by way of their associated audio components. With this in mind, Maloney manufactures a smart set of tracks for interior living spaces that offers up sophisticated songs illustrated by electronic & organic implementations with intent to be enjoyed in environmental arenas everywhere.
The Indoors EP moves like a late night house party that rages toward no end in sight on the dusk ’til dawn brilliance & glow of “From The Dust”, that coasts into the swaying ethereal dream pool of “Lullaby/Coming Home”. “The Apostate” exhibits dusty cinematic outsider approaches & auras as “Friction” feat. Adaline presents a fun electro duet that preps you for the monstrous epic of “Broken Sons” that is one of the most grand AK cuts executed attempted & skillfully accomplished.
Thematically, Indoors started when I wrote the first track “From The Dust”. I wanted to write a song addressed to anybody who felt like they needed to hide their true self. I adapted some lyrics from something I wrote many years ago when I was struggling with my sexuality, and ended up with something that I think works on a universal level as well as a personal level for me. This started the theme of the whole EP; being stuck in falseness, crippled by the fear of the world at large, or just simply holding onto people from your distant past.
Adult Karate’s new EP Indoors is available now from Plug Research.
