"Themata" gave Karnivool's debut album its name, and in July 2005 it became the record's third and last single, after "L1FEL1KE" and "Roquefort". The Australian band wrote it together and produced it with Forrester Savell, who recorded and mixed it. Ian Kenny sings lead with extra vocals from Novac Bull, Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking handle the guitars, Jon Stockman plays bass, and a string section of Georgina Cameron, Eve Silver, Elise Turner and Lathika Vithanage widens the frame.
It was their first song to crack Triple J's Hottest 100. The video, only their second after "L1FEL1KE", puts the band in a room hung with red curtains while their trademark, a little glass-eyed bug, buzzes around them and snatches of the lyrics flash up and vanish; it runs about a minute shorter than the album version.
