NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND VOL. 1 MILWAUKEE / VAR

Less a greatest hits collection than a fevered dream one, this reliquary holds twelve little bolts of lightning bottled right before daydreams turn into desk jobs. The true innerspace beauty of Milwaukees overlooked oeuvre lies in the factthat the city is not a one sound town. Multiple dreamscapes call the 414 home.The empty warehouse backbeat of Operations Fog Museum crests its wave straight to the Isle of Wight, while the lonely bedroom baroque of The Quiet Canons My Love Will Shine on You (radio edit) and the gorgeous whisper of Apollo Vermouths After School prescribe the soothing medicine of melancholy. Combine this trio with the twin-v of fully-realized melodic manna - Testa Rosas Alice Anything and Elephonics Wonderin- and you canthelp but be buoyed by this collections remarkable second act.
