Following on from a breakthrough year in 2010 which saw a breakspoll nomination for best breakthrough act as well as the release of the Australian duos critically acclaimed debut album ’For All Seasons’ Karton are back with their second album ’Find the Constant’.
Karton’s first album was widely praised for its genre defying diversity encompassing a broad range of song based album tunes. The Australian duo had worked on it for years, carefully crafting each song and then returning to it to refine each song to match their improved production skills and studio set up. The debut album, alongside a string of successful remixes, has earned them many new fans and wide critical praise, and with a new Canberra studio set up, the second album ’Find the Constant’ sees Karton focusing on the present with a more direct sound as a result. As breakbeat based music has changed and shifted so has Karton’s musical output. They have always been heavily influenced by breaks and bass music, and this time the album successfully combines the song based influences of the first album with a bigger emphasis on heavy hitting club tracks.
The album opens with the first single from the album, a club friendly drumstep cut named ’Bang’ featuring Melbourne based British MC Fraksha on vocals. Karton then take us for a ride through breaks, dubstep and some expertly produced drum n bass spanning 11 tracks. Other guest vocalists on the album include Chanel Cole, Roshambo and Nick Craven.
