Karl Blau details second Bella Union LP Out Her Space and shares lead single "Slow Children"

Ever-prolific artist Karl Blau is back for round two (22, technically) - he's announced his second album for Bella Union, Out Her Space.

The Washington State-based musician is following up last year's Introducing Karl Blau, his first album to be released in Europe but #21 in total. It was one of our favourite records of the year and contained some of our favourite songs.

That 'first' album saw Blau reworking "vintage Nashville country-soul" but this new LP sees Blau showing off original material. "Slow Children" is the first taste.

Out Her Space sees Blau, a producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist in his own right, teaming with Matthew E. White's Spacebomb backing band.

The record has been a long time in the making one way or another, with some lyrics dating back to the "George W. Bush era."

Blau plays a series of UK shows in the coming months, including a date at London's Borderline on 30 November. Find out more.

Tracklist:

  1. Slow Children
  2. Poor The War Away
  3. Beckon
  4. Valley Of Sadness
  5. Blue As My Name
  6. I've Got The Sounds (Like You've Got The Blues)
  7. Where Ya Goin’ Papa
  8. Dub The War Away
Out Her Space will be released 17 November through Bella Union.
