Sojourning back to Anacortes from Philly to reunite with his NW posse after 2 years ripped from Skagit Valley, Karl Blau embarked on a 10 day sonic journey, launching into the sound of renowned Unknown Studio analog equipment. The fruiting bodies are a record called Love on the digital and cassette version; and Scream Time is the 1st, raw mixes of the album pressed on vinyl. Armed with a couple dozen tunes and the trust of over 20 years of collective time spent making music together, the meat of the band would be Jon Hyde (of Introducing Karl Blau) on the pedal steel, Aaron Otheim of Heatwarmer on electric keyboard and NW legends LAKE backbone, Andrew Dorsett on drums. The smell of Scream Time/Love looms around the pedal steel and AceTone 60s electric organ. Jons pedal steel guitar weaves a country feeling into 70s Ethiopian production that the Acetone keys create - played by Otheim. Then the brilliant, bright baritone of Blaus voice retraces the image into the current time and place of the 2020s. And like any good Blau album, each song takes you to its own realm. A note on the title from Blau - I see us humans really wanting to LOVE one another, but often that translates into making decisions for others with our own interpretations of what their best interest should look like. Its through this lack of curiosity and exertion of power over that never fails to bring the HARM. Scream Time/Love will find you exploring this new horizon of What if Blau infused the voice and sonic palette he found in his country records with the more psychedelic, NW sounds hes been cultivating for the past 20 years?Sale Dates and Times:
