Milwalkie, Hjeartzz, Craws, Tallahassee Falls at 13th Note, 10/8/15
Tonight is a bit of a rare one, after we gave positive review to tonight’s headliner’s previous two LPs, Adjustments (2014) and No Routes (2013), we finally get the chance to see them live. Yes the brothers Matt and Steve Morris are from these shores, but they’ve been based in Berlin for some time, long enough that it’s clear in Matt’s voice that’s for sure, indeed it’s been over four years since…
Milwalkie are Matt and Steve Morris and Adjustments is their new and third album.
The former of the brothers has described this record as being “as honest as possible” and from a listen or two this barefaced approach is quite evident.
Each of the songs has an air of optimism, and a simple yet reassuring feel, captured through a recording process that makes all the tracks sound as live and natural…
I became close friends with the founding members, brothers Matt & Steve Morris back in 2011 shortly before they were due to move the newly-formed band to Berlin in search of adventure, good beer and a drummer. During a spell living back in Scotland, Matt agreed to take a drive with myself and fellow cameraman Rab Hill to a remote church on the banks of the river Dee with an acoustic guitar and a couple of cameras in tow.
Matt decided to play 'You're Late' - one of my favourite tracks from Milwalkie's second, and latest, album 'No Routes'. The album version of this track is an upbeat, rousing ride of bright guitar melodies with, in my opinion, the most driving and affective chorus on the whole album. The downplayed, unplugged version of the song which Matt played on the day gives a whole new dimension to the track and really lets the melancholic lyrics stand out and somehow perfectly compliment the most Scottish of drizzle falling against the stained glass of this tiny, beautiful kirk. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did filming it.

Milwalkie criaram um belo dream pop com este Wash Yourself. Batidas típicas do género e uma tristeza evidente ao longo da voz. Ao longo do vídeo, temos uma rapariga que começa a ver a cidade onde vive de uma outra forma, após ter saído de uma relação amorosa.
