Walker Lukens

antastic record."
-Robin Hilton, NPR, All Songs Considered

"Because while sounding exactly like nothing on the dial right now, this piece of jittery do-wop slapback—produced by Spoon's Jim Eno—nonetheless sounds like something you could use on a radio playlist to perfectly segue in or out of The Alabama Shakes "Don't Wanna Fight." It's a legitimate straight-out-of-leftfield contender." – Esquire

"Austin-based songwriter and bandleader Walker Lukens embraces the shaggy pop vibe that gave Dr. Dog a career, but there’s a caffeinated intensity to his songs, too, as though the thought of singing about his sentiments makes his anxious. Beneath the fuzzy production and above the hard-strummed guitars, he croons like a veteran balladeer with sudden indie rock ambitions. If you appreciated the lost edge of Blitzen Trapper’s Wild Mountain Nation, you may rediscover some of it in Lukens. —Grayson Haver Currin, Indy Week.
