Walker Lukens
"The singer-songwriter’s voice strikes the perfect balance between soul and sass, riding high above a funky bassline that definitely owes a bit to Spoon’s influence." - Consequence Of Sound
"If you don’t find yourself smashing the replay button immediately, then your resolve is stronger than mine." - UPROXX
"Walker’s voice is...exactly what one thinks of when you want a proper old school charm blended with modern touches and a whole lot of mature rebelliousness...." - Wolf In A Suit
"So, I get this CD in by Walker Lukens, I've never heard of him...I listened to it, and it was so good. I listened to it, and I thought, I've got to listen to this again. Maybe I'm just in a really good mood. And nope, it holds up. Even on my worst days, this is a fantastic record." - NPR All Songs Considered (Robin Hilton)
“Lukens has placed himself smack in the middle of the playing field with this new track that I can’t stop listening to. This is what it would be like if Prince had a baby with the Talking Heads, let Spoon raise it and named it Walker Lukens.” – Culture Collide
Walker Lukens has officially announced the upcoming release of his new album Tell It To The Judge, which is set to drop on September 22nd via Modern Outsider Records. Produced by Spoon’s Jim Eno, this highly anticipated record brings together some of Walker’s most prominent tracks to date, such as “Every Night” and “Lifted”, with new tunes for fans to enjoy.
With excitement towards the release of his second full length album, Walker explains, “I wanted Tell It To The Judge to feel like one of those late 70s ZZ Top records -- fun, to the point, a little funny, full of good grooves... The thing is that it's 2017. I love hip-hop and I can only take so much of that boys drinking around a campfire feel. I mostly play piano and am not that good at guitar. I spend too much time in my head to play good old rock-n-roll. Thus, I give you Tell It To The Judge.”
Walker Lukens has been called “one of the best songwriters in Texas” (Free Press Houston). The Austin-based, Houston-bred singer, multi-instrumentalist has been called “wonderfully inventive” (NPR World Cafe) a “non-sexually intimidating version of Prince’” (Austin Chronicle) and a “veteran balladeer with sudden indie rock ambitions” (Indy Week).
