KEXP Features Karl Blau and Opal Eskar

KEXP notes that “It’s hard to imagine the Northwest music scene without Karl Blau… In the late ‘90s, he began releasing albums on Knw-Yr-Own Records, the label ran by Bret Lunsford of Beat Happening. In the 2000’s, Karl became a producer at Dub Narcotic, the in-house recording studio for legendary local label K Records. He worked on albums by LAKE, The Curious Mystery, and Your Heart Breaks, just to name a very few.”

Now, Blau lives in Philadelphia and has started a new band – Opal Eskar. But he’s still beloved in the Pacific Northwest, and KEXP has the details on the band’s formation and its new self-titled EP. Learn more about the record, which is at radio now from Blau’s Spiral Valley Records, here.
