Milwaukee hyperpop artist Cyrus Chrome creates ethereal sounds to blissfully dance to, but their music goes deeper than something that merely gets you moving. It often centers around facing fears, growth and the healing process — all of which lends feelings of catharsis and peace. On this episode, guest host Carolann Grzybowski talked with Cyrus about the inspiration behind their song “Shoyu.” Also, tickets are on sale right now for our next State of Sound live show coming up Aug. 3. This always-packed night of music extends all the way to the western reaches of Wisconsin and headliner Waldemar, who will bring their heartland indie rock from Eau Claire to Milwaukee.
