Big Wild: "6's to 9's" (feat. Rationale) - KUT & KUTX Studios

Summary

Before starting this most recent chapter, Massachusetts-born Jackson Stell spent a good amount of time producing hip hop under the name J Beatz. But upon visiting some of California’s most grandiose natural formations, Stell shifted gears, upped the ante on his atmospheric sounds and rebranded himself as Big Wild

Big Wild only released his debut full-length this past February, but the emotional depth and electronic tones certainly live up to the album’s title, Superdream. You’ll be able to experience Superdream live onstage, this Wednesday at Emo’s, and to get your foot out the door and into Big Wild, check out a track that features British singer Rationale, “6’s to 9’s”!

Alison Brown: “Sun and Water (Here Comes the Sun/Waters of March)”

Concerning instruments with gorgeous tones and rich cultural histories, the banjo is often overlooked. And it makes sense to some extent; outside the roots world, banjo is rarely front and center.

Hot Mustard: “The End of Time”

We’ve been talking a lot about our upcoming SXSW Showcase next week at Scholz Garden, with a lineup that’s already got mouths watering. And on top of that, if you’re like me, perusing Scholz’ gasthaus-style menu is guaranteed to put mustard on the mind. But today we’re not talking about Dijon, Bavarian, or the plain […]

Passiflora: “SOMS”

Of course, we now recognize several silver linings, mainly the sudden abundance of free time to follow through with unrealized creative projects, some of which haven’t been heard […]

Coy O Té: “Never Enough”

As much as I miss seeing Walker Lukens & The Side Arms dominate marquees and show bills across town year-round, it’s been really neat watching Walker evolve from a frontman of many hats to a straight-up behind-the-scenes producer. In doing so, Walker’s been able to lend his idiosyncratic sense of sonics and production techniques to […]

If you weren’t already aware, over the past year Spoon drummer/Public Hi-Fi producer Jim Eno has been helping to write a new chapter in Women’s History through Project Traction. By opening the doors to Public Hi-Fi and offering a seat behind the board, Eno’s given female and non-binary musicians the skills […]

Trumpeter Swan: “American Dream”

Remember What Made Milwaukee Famous? Along with Spoon, The Octopus Project, and Explosions in the Sky, WMMF helped to hurl Austin’s explosive mid-2000s indie rock scene into the international zeitgeist. But with the exception of a brief 2019 reunion, What Made Milwaukee Famous has remained largely dormant since the release of You Can’t Fall Off […]
