“As fate would have it, the same ’80s funk influences that have inspired [Kid] Millions and [Sage] Schwarm for years are in vogue right now, manifesting themselves not only in the disco revival of acts like Chromeo, but also in the updated West Coast club sounds of DJ Mustard. Even this summer’s big pop hit, Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy,” played with the same retro electro-hop influences.

“Millions and Schwarm aren’t naïve enough to think they could have anywhere near the kind of reach of those acts—even at its most conventional, …….Again is far weirder than anything currently getting commercial radio play—…“There’s a little bit of everything on the new record, from indie-rock guitars to R&B to even some 1940s Lennon Sisters-style vocals,” Schwarm says. “None of those sounds are samples; they’re all our own recordings. It’s a little all over the place, but it also has a thread, sort of a psychedelic-funk thread that runs through the whole album.””

“Slow Walker came upon the Earth from a multi-dimensional void, in search of the green goddess. They offer harmonic resonance, and only ask for love in return.”

Slow Walker’s initial 2011 release — Good For Business — burst onto the scene with its intense punk n roll sound, filled with plenty of pent up energy and just enough sweetness (to sound more melodic than most) and with an added balance of grunge and psych to keep listeners satiated and on their toes.

2016’s quartet lineup of Andy Patterson, Justin Harris, Nick Fulsher and Sam Reitman will see the release of a new cassette on Stale Heat Records (Robert Plantain’s Grunge Lords Vol. 1) and hopefully a continuation of the increasingly psych-ier output (as evidence by their 2014 s/t LP).

Slow Walker, alongside likeminded Milwaukee bands — Midnight Reruns, Rashita Joneses, Drugs Dragons and Platinum Boys — are all creating a beer-drenched and sparkling, but muddy, sound that is becoming synonymous with a new generation of Milwaukee rockers.

NonLive - Local Showcase by WMSE

“WORK is a trio from Milwaukee. Guitar, bass and drums. Songs about love, debt, murder in small towns, whiffle ball injuries, and drinking too much. Sometimes fast pressured and punk. Sometimes slow and menacing. And sometimes we play jagged beats sideways while yelling. It really is a ball.

“We are releasing our second album Doing the Lords on February 26th. The Show is at Company Brewing, with Tigernite and Body Futures.”
