Biography
Anacortes WA, United States
Blau’s music is eclectic and incorporates elements of folk, dub, R&B, bossanova, grunge, hiphop, drone, and worldbeat.
From Karl’s own unbiased biography, available on the K Records website:
“I, Karl Blau, am a recording artist from Anacortes, WA. My debut K record “Beneath Waves” should be available in January of 2006. You may have heard my flute, sax, or drums on various K records. I’ve recorded with Mirah, Wolf Colonel, the Microphones, Little Wings, and I’m one third of the band D+(with Phil Elverum and Bret Lunsford). And more recently I’ve been touring & recording with the fabulous Laura Veirs.
About 2 years ago I started an “album-a-month club” called KELP! monthly. KELP! is a documentary label tracing my musical path, an avenue for my over-active creative side. People who enjoy the mystery subscribe up to a year and start receiving my records which have included—but will not be limited to—full length albums of mine and artists I’m producing, field recordings, compilations of artists and ambient art records.

All Blau fans should support his Kickstarter campaign here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/karlblau/give-a-hand-for-klaps Karl has shared his music for free/very little for long enough now, he totally deserves this and it should totally happen if enough people chip in.

There are some Karl Blau songs that sound like what I imagine Kurt Cobain would have ended up doing if he had gone solo. Can anyone else hear this or am I crazy? (Ex: Free the Bird)
