Austin indie rock band Wiretree are S-25's first featured band

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.
