Karmacoda are an American trip hop group based in San Francisco, CA. The group currently includes singer Jessica Ford, singer/guitarist B., and bassist Eric Matsuno.
History
[edit]Karmacoda was formed in 2000 by singer/guitarist B. (Brett Crockett) and singer Heather Pierce, who shared an interest in trip hop and drum and bass.[1] Their group name was inspired by the song "Karmacoma" by Massive Attack.[2] Drummer Bruce Fulford and bassist Brian Templeton completed the lineup. The group released their debut album Reco Mended in 2001, before they had performed live.[3] On this album B. and Pierce shared lead vocals, but Pierce would become the dominant singer on later albums.[3] Fulford then left the group; instead of finding a new drummer the group added Rafael Acevedo as a DJ.[4]
The song "Swan" won the award for Best Film/TV Song at the third annual Independent Music Awards in early 2004.[5] The group's second album Evidence was released later in 2004, and displayed influences from soul music.[6] Bassist Brian Templeton then departed and was replaced by Eric Matsuno.[2][7] The group's third studio album Illuminate was released in 2007.[8] Eternal was released in 2011.[9]
Heather Pierce left the group in 2012 to focus on her teaching career.[10] For the group's 2015 album Love and Fate, Volume 1, several different female singers were recruited to perform duets with B.[11] Jessica Ford then joined the group as the permanent lead singer; the album Intimate was released in 2018.[7]
