The Shepherd Setlist is a collaboration between the Shepherd Express and Milwaukee music website, Breaking And Entering.
Garden Home – “Ghost”
Post-hardcore band Garden Home recently put out with their debut music video, which accompanies “Ghost” from their recent Postmortem EP. Shot by Samer Ghani, the scene here finds the band playing in the dark as a lone light flickers about, bringing the substantially emotional themes of the song in full force. Note that it’s in black-and-white while already being shot in a dark setting, truly captivating a morbid fear of loneliness. Garden Home come out with punching with “Ghost.” (Ben Slowey)
El Sebas – “Patron”
With a slick beat and a masterful flow, El Sebas of Browns Crew is back with a new single, “Patron.” Sebas mixes bars in Spanish and English seamlessly, and he has an unrelenting confidence throughout the track. He noted that the track was largely written in one sitting upon hearing the beat from AGW Beats, and the organic feeling of those lyrics coming to life can be heard in the final product. El Sebas and Browns Crew are certainly up to something big, and you can hear that on this track. (Allen Halas)
Rahn Harper – “Gimmicks”
Rahn Harper has a new track out, and he’s looking for authenticity on “Gimmicks.” The track is about where Rahn is at in life right now, taking chances and believing in perfecting his career. He sings about being surrounded by people that felt fake, and that he had to push past all of that in order to feel good about making music and living how he wants. Harper certainly has major-label quality, and while he sings about getting out of a deal that wasn’t right for him, it may not belong before we see him on another label. (Allen Halas)

LUXI – “Call Me”
LUXI is showing a brighter side of her electro-pop DIY wisdom these days, as evidenced by a fun new video for “Call Me.” The single has a simple premise; LUXI wants you to call her, and call her yours. The video features the songstress and producer in a glitched-out version of her trademark tones, singing about wanting your time and attention over the upbeat track. If this is an indicator of things to come, we’re in for some fun music from LUXI while the weather warms up. (Allen Halas)
Mini Meltdowns – “Super Blue”
Power pop band Mini Meltdowns have their first single out in three years. It’s a fuzzy love tune that Jon Phillip wrote for his fiance about their first Valentine’s Day together in Memphis. He struggles to imagine what his life was life before he met her; nothing comes to how she makes him feel. “Super Blue” refers to the pool in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel, where he wishes to swim with her like ducks. It’s a sunshine-filled ditty from Mini Meltdowns that we hope is the precursor to something bigger in the works. (Ben Slowey)
