HOT MILK- BY FRANK FIEBER
“Their singles have coupled indelible melodies with ferocious power” The Guardian

“This is pretty much the perfect debut album. It’s a clear statement of intent that still allows them to grow into their new, malevolent sound. Hot Milk are aiming for the top, and if this record is anything to go by, it is well within their reach.” DORK 5/5

“Hot Milk have delivered the triumphant debut they’d always hoped to.” Kerrang! 4/5

“…while ‘A Call To The Void’ might be one of the debut rock albums of the year, there’s far more potential still to come.” Upset 5/5

“Jim Shaw and Han Mee are tearing up the genre rulebook, and producing some of today’s most vital guitar-led music as a result.” Guitar World

Manchester, UK – HOT MILK have today released their debut album “A CALL THE VOID” new single “OVER YOUR DEAD BODY”.  A track that assuredly touts chunky basslines that stomp beside cavalier lyrical wordplay, abrupt riffs, and bombastic string section motifs. Each part, is delicately crafted to climax into a song that will comfortably slot into an ever more proficient live set, and will inevitably become a firm favourite of the band’s growing loyal legion of fans.
 
“A call to the void represents the dichotomy of life, the comedy and the tragedy of being a human alive on this floating rock. Two minds became one through this record.  We opened our chest ‘n it’s time for you to devour it. Hot Milk is an emotion.” says the band

For some, it might feel like a long time coming but Hot Milk always knew that when the time came to make their debut album, they had to be ready for it. It is their loudest statement yet of who they are and what they stand for, an opportunity to show the world what they are made of.

Tracks on the debut album walk on a tightrope between the humorous and the serious, brimming with what might be called positive nihilism. They’re not so much finding the light in the dark as they are laughing because if they don’t, they’ll cry.

The band have blossomed over the course of three self-produced EPs, this constant stream of releases has meant that Hot Milk were never away from the spotlight – or the stages they call home.  Their rise kept accelerating, taking them to stadium support slots with Foo Fighters, the main stages of some of the best festivals Globally, an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel in the US, BBC Radio 1 playlists, to tours with bands like Pale Waves and their own headline sold-out shows to over 50 million streams of the EPs alone.  Crucially, however, they were giving themselves space to find themselves as artists.

The band recorded the album between Manchester, Los Angeles and Stockholm with the bands very own Jim Shaw at the Producing helm for the majority of the record, much like all previous releases.  An element that has become so important to the band and allows them to control just exactly what they want to be as artists.

A CALL TO THE VOID is the English translation of the French phrase l’appel du vide, referring to the brain’s trick of spotting opportunities to die. It’s the eerie jolt that is felt when you stand waiting for a train and the thought that you could jump, and end your life in a heartbeat, intrudes in your head. It’s that brief moment of being reminded of the fragility of existence.

The most important thing for the band, however, is that these songs are written to scream from the speakers of the stage, and for their refrains to be screamed back at them by the adoring, tight-knit community they’ve built. “Live is where I’m happiest, live is where it’s home,” says Han. “We wrote songs with the intention of people going off, making you feel good, opening the pit up, letting go, crying, getting on your mate’s shoulders.  It’s Church for us.”
