Hot Milk have given us another taste of their upcoming second album in the form of furious single ‘The American Machine’.
A straight-to-the-point reflection on the current political and social state of the US, it’s a fiery cut that follows the release of ‘Swallow This’ and ‘Insubordinate Ingerland’.
Check it out via the video below:
On the themes of ‘The American Machine’, vocalist Han Mee says:
“It is difficult to love the world right now on the global stage. The imperialistic and dangerous rhetoric coming out the USA cannot be ignored. The language and aggression is becoming more ridiculous every day, it feels like the days of decorum and level-headed governance are in the past.
When we look to our cousins across the pond I don’t recognise a common goal, it gets stranger with each passing week. This song is not anti-American, it is anti-arsehole, anti-hate, anti-oligarch. Essentially, America can keep its weird shit over there. We do not want a piece of the American machine. The system is breaking. We have seen your country sevenfold and the love and understanding for those who are struggling is waning within your walls I thought you were built on so-called Christian values? We live in scary and stupid times, how could we not put our worries into song form?
There is always hope, however. I know common sense prevails within many people and good does reside in the USA. It’s up to the rest of us continue and ride this out and to do what we can”.
