Karl Blau

Label: K Records
Genre: Experimental, Folk

This guy doesn't mess around. Guitar, flute, sax, drums—you name it, Karl Blau's played it, whether it's on his K Records debut, Beneath the Waves, or for Mirah, The Microphones and Laura Veirs. The album title is aptly named because listening to Blau gives you the same serenity effect as lying on the beach listening to the soothing sound of the waves crash against one another. But just as you think you're listening to a straight-forward pop song comes songs like "Into the Nada," which is full of Spanish-influenced melodies. Come to think of it, messing around is exactly what Karl Blau does...
