Milwaukee’s most genre-defying composer is back, and this time he’s trading the neo-classical art-rock intensity for something a little more spiritually expansive. Daṇḍin has unveiled “Freedom is the Answer,” a track that’s pure pop at heart — and somehow, it still feels right at home in the Milwaukee music ecosystem.

For those just tuning in, Daṇḍin has built a reputation as one of the more adventurous voices in the local scene, weaving together world influences, experimental textures, and lyric-forward songwriting through his ongoing “Lyrics By Daṇḍin” series of collaborations.

Stream “Freedom is the Answer” via Bandcamp below, and dig into the rest of Daṇḍin’s catalog while you’re at it.
