Karl Blau, now based in Philadelphia, has one of indie music’s most quietly legendary résumés—contributing to over 250 albums across three decades, with credits ranging from Earth and The Microphones to Laura Veirs and Matthew E. White. His own work is genre-fluid, joyfully folding funk, folk, pop, and punk into ever-evolving experimental forms. Vultures of Love isn’t a culmination—it’s another bold waypoint. Blau didn’t relocate to settle down; he came to be part of something in motion, music that’s searching. This album is a striking new chapter from an under-sung explorer, still pushing at the edges of what’s possible.
