Sound Awake, the second album from Perth progressive rockers Karnivool, came out in Australia on 5 June 2009 on Sony Music, four years after their debut Themata. The lineup had been locked since 2004, with Ian Kenny singing, Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking on guitars, Jon Stockman on bass and Steve Judd on drums, and that stability shows in how tightly the five of them knot together.
This is prog without the capes: songs that take their time, coiling and shifting before they break open, Kenny's voice gliding over the churn. "Set Fire to the Hive" and "All I Know" are the two that found their way onto the countdowns. The album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year at the 2009 J Awards and took Most Popular Album at the 2010 West Australian Music Industry Awards; Asymmetry followed.
