Across three years marred by a hurricane, a pandemic, and a life upended, Karl Kuehn found solace the only way he knew how: picking up any instrument within reach and forming songs that would become Blue Water - his debut album under his moniker Gay Meat, a record that gently, lovingly says goodbye to his mom. Piecing together the sepia patchwork of memories through a child's eyes, the album's 13 tracks were written alone, chronicling the anticipatory grief and the immediate aftermath of loss. Friends including Jeff Rosenstock, Chris Farren, Sarah Tudzin (illuminati hotties), Lamont Brown (RNIE) and Taylor Haag lent their vocals and instrumentation across the record, with production from Brett Scott and Alex Thompson. Eclectic in it's sonic space, the album details the overflowing, chaotic state of sorrow that ebbs and flows between the quiet and still nature of realization, synths and guitars and keys coalescing like the influx of every emotion.
