Song of the Day

Kid_Wy: “See About Me”


Listen Later

Well, well, well…we’ve arrived at the last Song of the Day before our brief winter break. But it’s not just the final feature of 2024; it’s also a poignant conclusion to my regular tenure. Yep, after seven long years and 1,725 of these, it’s time for me to step down from Song of the Day and set my sights on some other things here at KUTX. So although you won’t have to suffer through my ad nauseam alliterations and predictable puns nearly as much moving forward, rest assured that Song of the Day will remain alive and well as a carefully-curated resource for musical discovery.

In that spirit, we’re wrapping up this year with just one more premiere. And from a real man about town, no less. Historically Wyatt Corder‘s been known as the frontman of Big Wy’s Brass Band, a horn section member of The Watters and Flyjack, and a trusty trumpet-for-hire heard on recordings from KUTX heavy rotation artists like BLK ODYSSY, Abhi the Nomad, and CAPYAC. But we gotta give Wy special kudos for kicking two more of his eponymous projects up a notch recently. See, back in September Corder helped corral the first single from Allisen & The Wy’s Guys onto streaming. And this weekend Wy concretes another COVID-era creation of his with Kid_Wy‘s debut studio offering.

It’d be irreverent to call Kid_Wy anything less than an Austin supergroup; keyboardist KindKeith, Mamalarky drummer Dylan Hill, Nané bassist Scott McIntyre, and sax extraordinaire Renuka Jayasinghe support their fearless leader in pursuit of a psych-rock style they’ve dubbed “sunshine pop”. Ready to bundle up in this weather? Kid_Wy gets cozy with a single release show 8PM tomorrow night at Hole in the Wall alongside Batooter and Mockjaw. As for the tune itself, “See About Me” is nothin’ but good vibes from the get-go and all the way through four and a half minutes of nuanced psychedelia. It radiates against a crystal clear mix (I love the way the xylophone, synth, and keys float on top of a traditional rock trio arrangement), adept instrumental interplay, and a soulful chord progression that’s coquettish, sentimental, and mellow as hell. Safe to say we’re seeing good things in Kid_Wy’s future.

As for yours truly – Jack Anderson? Guess we’ll just have to wait and…see about me.
