"Milwaukee"
Milwaukee indie-rock veterans Maritime are putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album, a follow-up to 2011's Human Hearts, and today they released a video for a single that may or may not make that record's final cut. Fittingly timed to today's Milwaukee Day celebrations, "Milwaukee" is a warts-and-all celebration of the city Davey von Bohlen affectionately roasts as a "one horse town."
The Bob Purvis-directed video for the song follows a traveling wall of local memorabilia as it cruises past destinations and locales that defy some of the stereotypes on that wall. Inevitably there's an element of "spot the cameo" involved, but it's a poetic, conflicted tribute to a city that can't easily be summed up in one video.
