Karl Blau is a musician based in Anacortes, Washington and member of the Knw-Yr-Own/K Records collective. He is very prolific and releases music through a monthly subscription service called Kelp Monthly. He has played in D+, Brothers Blau, Captain Fathom, Your Heart Breaks and has collaborated extensively with Phil Elverum (The Microphones/Mount Eerie). He also tours and records with Laura Veirs.
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.

I bought "Baby Nettles" from him in person last night. He hand made the whole album casing, stitched with fabric and string. Pretty awesome. Puts on a great show too.
