Hold Your Horses

Karate Boogaloo's 'Hold Your Horses' is a captivating instrumental album from Melbourne's celebrated cinematic soul band. Released via Colemine Records and College of Knowledge, this record distils the group's decade-long underground presence into a focused exploration of DIY soul and hip-hop-influenced composition. Built on drums, guitar, bass, and organ, the album navigates tension, whimsy, dissonance, and heavy funk with the ease of four lifelong collaborators. Recorded live without overdubs by bassist Henry Jenkins, each track emerged from spontaneous studio interplay—a testament to the band's intuitive musical chemistry and their deep commitment to authentic soul craft.
