Even though winter isn’t typically a season Milwaukee looks at with much fondness, at least a lot of great Milwaukee music has been released between late December 2025 and now (a soul-crushing day in which we’ve been hit with a ton of snow despite spring being just four days away). As we buckle in for whatever Mother Nature has in store for us the rest of the season…and beyond, Milwaukee Record wanted to take a moment to acknowledge some of our favorite songs local musicians released this season by putting together a “Winter 2026” Spotify playlist.
Is Spotify a terrible platform that has done irreparable harm to the music industry and the environment? Absolutely. Do you still have a Spotify account in spite of that? Probably. So if you happen to enjoy anything on this playlist, we strongly urge you to listen to more material from those artists, buy their music or other merch directly or on Bandcamp, and see them perform live.
