Walker Lukens: “We See U” (QT Edition) [PREMIERE]

By: Jack Anderson

Even if you only have cursory knowledge of KUTX, the name Walker Lukens should be pretty familiar to you. On top of being our August 2015 Artist of the Month, this seven-time Studio 1A performer and two-time My KUTX guest DJ also co-hosts and produces our very own Song Confessional podcast. Needless to say, Walker’s a bit of a workaholic and we’ve got zero qualms with that.

The latest endeavor from Lukens is the ADULTs ONLY Album of the Month Club, providing members with a new exclusive record every thirty days, and allowing Walker to pay his bills since he’s not able to produce in the studio or play live gigs. This Sunday members will receive Teenager, a sequel of sorts to last April’s ADULT, showing off stripped-down, previously unheard recordings of Walker’s previously existing stuff using sparse equipment and instrumentation, channeling Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. Sign up for ADULTS ONLY when you can but get a free sample before you do, in case you need some convincing, “We See You” (QT Edition)!

Skateland: “Wednesday, Baby!”

For years now, we’ve been in a bit of a cuffing season with former KUTX Artist of the Month Skateland‘s synth-driven dream pop that’s as delectable and ethereal as the roller rink of his stage name origins. It’s cozy, groovy, and hypnotic all at the same time. After years of breadcrumbing us singles, he’s releasing […]

The John-Pauls: “Eep Eep”

Yesterday, I watched a video of a guy unsuccessfully attempting to get a beached dolphin back into the ocean, and as luck would have it, today I get to write about a song from a dolphin’s POV. And a louche little devil they are. “Eep Eep” is the appropriately named title and single from the […]
