With their signature fuzz and razor-sharp pop sense, Denmark's noise-rock duo the Raveonettes pick up where landmark bands like the Jesus and Mary Chain and Sonic Youth left off. But even if you strip away the layers upon layers of...

Song of the Day

Wye Oak: “Spiral”

Wye Oak is not a band that stays in place for long. Though a lot of the same elements carry over from album to album--singer Jenn Wasner's throaty croon, her slash-and-burn guitar playing, drummer Andy Stack's inventive...

Rodney Crowell: “Angel Eyes”

Last week, we received news that Susanna Clark, wife of Guy Clark, passed away at the age of 73. Rodney Crowell talked to KUT's Kevin Connor about what an inspiration she was--not only to Guy, but also to Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, and Crowell himself. "I was in love with...

Song of the Day

Chris Cohen: “Caller No. 99″

It can be a beautiful thing when a musician steps out into the spotlight after living in the shadow and psuedo-anonymity of being in bands. Multi-instrumentalist Chris Cohen has just made that big leap. On...

Woods: “Cali In A Cup”

Song of the Day

Woods: “Cali In A Cup”

The sound of Woods seems lost in time and place. The New York band's brand of psychedelic folk recalls hazy days lolling around in late 60's Southern California, but with a decidedly more introspective, lo-fi, 21st-century indie...

The Invincible Czars: Selection from &...

Who would have thought that a band could take the bellicose pomposity of the "1812 Overture" and kind of make it cheeky and fun? Well, it's been done by Austin's own imitable, classical prog-punks The Invincible Czars....

Loudon Wainwright III is something of popular music's class clown. Since 1970, he's been poking and prodding with irreverent songs that, while written in a folk style, are removed of the dour seriousness that can sometimes...

Deep Time: “Clouds”

Song of the Day

Deep Time: “Clouds”

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote "We change, whether we like it or not." If the last sixty years of pop music has taught us anything, it's that reinvention is ubiquitous. Great art comes through revolution and change, even if that change is unwelcome. We may be poked and prodded into it but whatever...
