Howard: “Oh Dear Brother”

By: Jack Anderson

The music of Brooklynite Howard Feibusch and his eponymous group Howard has come a long way since the 2015 debut album, Religion. Religion formed itself around bedroom recordings and samples but proved only to be the beginning for Howard’s sonics. By the time the band released their electronic-heavy EP Recycle, Howard had become a fully fledged four-piece, ready to tackle a new project in Feibusch’s brand new studio.

That project, (Howard’s second full-length) Together Alone takes shape as eleven genre-hopping tracks, rounded out with a full band sound and backed by some Daptone horns to boot. Together Alone comes out tomorrow and to tide you over the next twenty four hours, here’s “Oh Dear Brother”!

Killer Kaya: “Seasons of Unrest”

When California comes to mind, it’s easy to imagine three hundred and sixty sunny days a year. But between earthquakes, floods, mudslides, wildfires, and other natural disasters (we’ll even throw in this global pandemic for posterity)…it’s not just a coastal breeze over there. Whatever the weather, Cali can always rely on some really cool cross-cultural […]

Dan Warner & The Night Parrots: “Every Moon is Blue”

Between Methyl Ethyl, Jen Cloher, Tame Impala, G Flip, Courtney Barnett, and The Avalanches…KUTX plays so much ‘down under’ music that we could probably get away with rebranding ourselves “The Aussie Music Experience”. But that’s not just a bad pun; there’s plenty of truth behind the cross-continental exchange between America and Australia. See, Austin does have a sister city […]

Sweet Slacks: “Cruise Control”

There’s no sensation quite like discovering a new artist, and when a group has really fun song titles, that joyous curiosity can show up well before you even press “play”. One glance at track names like “Tijuana Blowout”, “Check Please”, and “Whiskey Diviner” clues you into the inherent lighthearted friendship that fuels Austin quartet Sweet […]

Kevin Galloway: “The Luckiest Creole In Terrebonne Parish”

Before the indie pop chirality of Lucius caught on our airwaves, and heck, even before KUTX was its own music station, there was only one “Lucius” to be reckoned with on Austin radio – Uncle Lucius. From the early-mid-oughts all the way through the late twenty teens, frontman Kevin Galloway and his keen grasp of blues-R&B-country rock […]

The Watters: “Life As A Dream”

We’ve all experienced impostor syndrome in one way or another. For musicians, it typically comes in the form of filling a bill considered “out of their league” or trying their hand at a style that’s not as rehearsed as the rest of their repertoire. But you’ll never know unless you try, right? Because that’s exactly […]

Michael Paul Lawson: “Lucille”

Now this is purely anecdotal, but it seems like there’s an awful lot of traffic between Austin and New York. Must be something about a cross-metropolitan cultural exchange between the Big Apple and the Live Music Capital…Whatever the weather, one peripheral instance of that migration pattern graciously gifted us singer-guitarist Michael Paul Lawson. Lawson’s parents […]
