Wisconsin Built | ”No Grey”
My friends Thom and Eric make some amazing music as Wisconsin Built. They just released a new Untitled EP. This isn’t from that (though I’d suggest getting it -it’s awesome), it’s from a record Eric made quite a bit ago, and it’s called Maps. It’s a beautiful piece of lo-fi indie pop and probably my favorite song by them.
