Song of the Day

Here at Song of the Day, we’ve observed a resurgence of classic-style soul in recent years, and reported plenty on it too. As a matter of fact, when Sir Woman’s Kelsey Wilson came by KUTX a couple months back, we had to ask the genre authority whether or not she’s picked up on a retro-soul […] The post Motenko: “Free Yourself” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

For a lot of people, when you think of synth pop, you think “inorganic”. You think “artifice”. Which, to be fair, “synthesizer”, “synthetic”…we get it. But despite the constructed character of those modern mood makers, there’s plenty of potential for passion and authenticity in the synth pop sector. So let’s get into the The Belle […] The post The Belle Sounds: “Oh Humanity” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Blues is an almost stereotypical staple of the “old Austin” Sixth Street sound. But if you wanna break out of the city limits, let loose, feel unleashed and all that good stuff? Of all the notable places to split from the whole program and make the best of the blues, New Orleans always stands tall […] The post Sonny Gullage: “Go Be Free” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

You ever notice a name pop up more and more in a music scene, almost nearing non-stop status, and wonder to yourself, “sure just one person can’t squeeze in the time and energy for all this”…only to find out it’s not a sole person after all, nor even the namesake of one of its members? […] The post Parker Woodland: “Ladder At Your Window” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

We don’t want to alarm anybody…but today is the last day to submit considerations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. Congrats to everyone who made the deadline, good luck to those still watching the clock and waiting on the latest batch of masters, and condolences to anyone who plain spaced on the date. Those in that […] The post David Rosenblad: “Like a Sagittarian Archer” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Feeling comfortable just in your own skin is a luxury we often take for granted. Sure, adjusting to a problematic puberty is a fairly common experience, as are life-altering eating habits even later on. But where a good chunk of population at least reaps the benefits of a cis-heteronormative construct, the trans community faces struggles […] The post Locuust x YoursTruuly: “Acupuncture” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

As the birthplace of industry heavyweights like Spoon, indie rock is perhaps the most outspoken apex of the Austin soundscape. But depending on who you ask, indie is undoubtedly one of the safest, most inoffensive sonics rock has to offer, at least in the grand scheme of that genre’s mega-spectrum. But if you want something […] The post Ne’er-do-well: “I Want It All” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

We’ll level with y’all. Between Song of the Day and Austin Music Minute, we here at KUTX try our very best to get everybody caught up on new releases and local shows. But, the human beings in a bustling musical metropolis that we are, stuff does slip through the cracks. And especially for our out-of-state […] The post Daniel Nunnelee: “Do You?” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

As much as we admire an intricate arrangement and a progressive song structure, not every tune needs to tout itself as a pocket symphony. I mean, we’ve already got one “Bohemian Rhapsody”, right? So while house and hip-hop may spring to mind when thinking about repetition, there’s an intrinsic simplicity to other styles of songwriting […] The post Anna May: “The Show” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

It’s New Music Friday. It’s time to pump some fresh life into your playlists so let’s get straight to it; there’s new stuff from an awesome Austinite and a Howdy Gals-presented release show this weekend to boot. Both of which you might’ve already caught wind of through yesterday’s Austin Music Minute. Yep, it’s Madison Baker, […] The post Madison Baker: “WANNABE” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Earlier this year we helped introduce the world to Austin’s TIGERS EYE and today we’re keeping the marble rolling with their latest. To recap, this Austin four-piece is the passion project of frontman Jeremy Baker, an ex-pat of California’s Cydeways and a recent transplant. TIGERS EYE only made their streaming debut this past March, but […] The post TIGERS EYE: “All We Ever Know” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
