Our Take

ELLIOTT MURPHY's latest offering, "Milwaukee," is like a pint of warm beer on a rainy day - oddly comforting yet slightly bewildering. The American singer-songwriter charms with his signature blend of folk, rock, and a touch of Americana, making for an eclectic listening experience that never quite settles into a predictable groove.

Murphy's vocals are as smooth as melted butter on toast, gliding effortlessly over the twangy guitars and jaunty piano riffs that permeate the album. Tracks like "Beer Town" and "Cheeseheads" capture the essence of Middle America with a wry sense of humour, while "Brew City Blues" delves into the darker side of the city of Milwaukee.

However, for all its charm and charisma, "Milwaukee" falls short of being a truly memorable record. The songs blend together in a somewhat mushy haze, lacking the standout moments that would elevate it to greatness. Murphy's lyrics occasionally veer into cliché territory, with tired references to heartbreak and small-town life feeling a tad worn out.

Overall, "Milwaukee" is a pleasant listen that will appeal to fans of Americana-tinged rock music. It may not be groundbreaking, but it serves as a solid addition to Elliott Murphy's expansive discography. So grab yourself a cold one, put on this album, and let the music transport you to the heartland of America. Cheers!
