Trip hop

Karmacoma is a Trip hop act. Their sound grew out of Alka Yagnik, Alexander Borodin, The KLF, Serge Gainsbourg and Shakespears Sister. Those roots explain a lot about how Karmacoma arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Marcin Rozynek and Ewelina Flinta, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tricky, Portishead and UNKLE, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 10 connections around Karmacoma, reaching back through Alka Yagnik and forward to Tricky. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
