What Made Milwaukee Famous || Listen
Surrounded by shifting, muted post-punk guitar chords and minor-key keyboard twinkling, vocalist/guitarist Michael Kingcald croons through lo-fi sheen, “Hey, weren’t you told / How brutal life can be?” before the rest of the band rips into a soaring, guitar-and-saxophone-laden build up. The sense of dread and crashing noise certainly is a change for WMMF, especially when considering the upbeat indie-pop template established on their debut, Trying To Never Catch Up. Then again, if the title to their forthcoming LP is any indication, the boys in What Made Milwaukee Famous aim not only to survive the brutality of life, but come out stronger than ever. - Spin.com
