Hot Milk have released their first new music since debut album ‘A Call To The Void’ – the emotional new single ‘Where Does The Light Get In?’.
On this latest offering from the Manchester band, Jim Shaw says “Sadness doesn’t last forever, but when it consumes you it feels like it’s there for eternity. Essentially this song is a cry out for a change in circumstances. It’s hard seeing someone close to you in pain and feeling powerless to change it. I wanted to exacerbate the vulnerability of this song so I began as stripped back as I could, me and a piano, and played what you can hear as soon as the song starts. We wanted the lyrics to come across almost like a prayer so we brought in the girls in Espera to record a choir and act as the response in the chorus.”
Han Mee continues “this song is its own beast that came from a place of great torment and suffering, matters of the heart are rarely touched by our band but after the last year put me into a place I never wish to return I couldn’t not write this song. It was a necessity.”

The band will hit the road with Palaye Royale across Europe later this year, including a date at London’s Wembley Arena on November 09.
