Matt Wild is one of the co-founders of Milwaukee Record, which he and the other co-founder, Tyler Maas, describe as an online source for music, culture, and gentle sarcasm. Among the many cultural things Milwaukee Record keeps track of is a nearly exhaustive list of new music from local musicians.

Here's Matt's Milwaukee Music Roundup for September 2019:

Marielle Allschwang & The Visitations
"Roam"

"One of our very best singers, very best songwriters and she's always been uncompromising with what she writes and performs."

Some Strange Kaleidoscope
"Patina Screamer"

"It's a great song. Not too crazy, but it is a swirling, psychedelic fun-house of a song."

Yo-Dot
"4ever"

"It's a perfect late summer, early fall jam for me. Very lovely, simple melody."

Negative Positive
"Space Smells Like Lilacs"

"You could call it a ballad almost — a jazzy, kinda slow tempo ballad. It's one of those things where a band is maturing."
