If their 2024 debut was a panicked, beautiful sprint through a burning building, ‘Something Worth Waiting For’ is Friko finally stopping to appreciate the architecture while the fire department handles the rest. Niko Kapetan and Bailey Minzenberger have traded a bit of that “brink of a nervous breakdown” energy for something grander, weirder, and, dare I say, […]
Bitch Creek by Bitch Creek
Bitch Creek‘s self-titled debut is a great representation of five best friends manifesting a vivid reverie into a fiddle-heavy reality. Born from a chance meeting at a local haunt and solidified during a bonding trip to Ireland, this album is a masterclass in “dark folk” that feels more like a warm hug than a spooky […]
Strictly Biggness by YaYa Biggs
If you’re looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany the realization that you’ve been accidentally launching yourself into low-earth orbit every night for the past two weeks, look no further than ‘Strictly Biggness‘ from the band YaYa Biggs. I recently discovered an empty package of weed gummies under my couch and, after a brief investigative […]
Companion by Sluice
If you’re looking for the sonic equivalent of staring at a bobber for six hours while slowly dehydrating, Sluice’s new album ‘Companion‘ is your new best friend. This album doesn’t just play…. it loiters in your mind. It’s got that perfect, mid-tempo existentialism that pairs beautifully with a four-pack of Hamm’s tall boys and the realization that you’ve been […]

Clementine by Ladybird
If you haven’t yet let the sweet, Midwestern melodies of Ladybird’s latest record, ‘Clementine‘, wash over you like a crisp lake breeze on a humid July night, you are truly missing out on Milwaukee’s premier “not-quite-famous-yet” band. Released as a follow-up to their debut, this album is a total “hell yeah” from start to finish, living in that […]
Sexistential by Robyn
After a long eight-year wait since Honey, pop’s favorite Swedish innovator returns with Sexistential, officially dropping on March 27, 2026. This ninth studio album is a high-speed collision of past and present, trading the soft meditations of her last record for a “spaceship crash-landing” back into the punchy, ecstatic pop of the Body Talk era. The title track, “Sexistential,” is […]
EP1 by Angelica
If you’re looking for a reason to neglect your responsibilities in Milwaukee this week, Angelica has provided the perfect 15-minute mini-soundtrack for taking that not-so-long walk to the bar. Their debut, EP1, is the kind of art-punk “supergroup” project that makes you wonder if the members of Lightninging, Wandering Nerve, and Swim Two Birds actually like each other or if they just […]
News from Planet Zombie by The Notwist
The album ‘News from Planet Zombie’ by the Munich band The Notwist is a glitchy, electronic masterpiece that really meats all my expectations for moody indie-pop. While the title suggests something undead, the music is actually full of incredible energy. Tracks like “Object 11” and “Exit Strategy” have layers as complex as a well-stuffed casing, blending mechanical synths with […]
Grey Hour EP by Frantic Repair
To really complete the Milwaukee “Frantic Repair” experience, you have to fuel up correctly, and for me, that means a trip to Palomino Bar. Now, in a past life, I would have dove headfirst into a bucket of their famous fried chicken without a second thought. But times change, and I’ve recently become something of […]
