The Sunday-25 Mix series gives us a chance to appreciate the great music that influences today’s indie musicians. Sundays are meant to be a break from every other day of the week, and so it seems appropriate to have this type of playlist mix on Sundays. The S-25 mixes will include songs from as far back as the 1950’s, and feature a wide open range of music genres, from classic rock and new wave to alternative rock and hip hop; from chillwave and folk to psychedelic rock and post punk; and jazz and blues to classical and country.

And the same time we thought it would be cool to profile an indie artist or band for this weekly feature and intersperse three of four of their songs within the mix. The first S-25 band spotlight goes to a band most people have never heard of, which is a shame. In 2009, the Austin outfit, Wiretree, released their album, Luck. Unfortunately, the LP largely flew under the radar compared to just how good it is. The great thing about this album is that it sounds even better with each spin. Luck is one of the best overlooked indie release of 2009.  While not as brilliant, the band’s debut, Bouldin, is also a terrific LP.
