KARL STRAUB writes music the way birds build nests, throwing together something sturdy from whatever detritus is lying around. Bubblegum pop, Charlie Parker, Merle Haggard and Bob Wills, Rodgers & Hart, psych fuzz, the Dolls and Velvet Underground, etc.
Straub basically uses two approaches when he writes lyrics— storytelling and impressionism.
