Hot Milk continue their ‘Corporation P.O.P’ era with new single ‘Swallow This’, which takes swipe at the so-called leaders of the world, who seem hell-bent on callously cavaliering us headfirst into collapse.
Talking further on the single, lead singer Han Mee expands: “We live in a post-truth era, we are confused, we are lost, and we are untrusting. We must follow our gut to what is moral, right and kind. ‘Swallow This’ is a protest song against the hypodermic needle of control media. They anger and press upon pressure points to gain control. As we have always said, ‘Question Everything’. It is healthy and it is right in this world that has evolved too fast for our primate brains to keep up. We must prioritize the wellness and safety of our fellow man, no matter their race, creed, religion, gender, or sexuality. We are human beings, do not let something as common as money and power replace what truly matters. Community, joy, laughter, spirit. I will stand on that picket line first if it comes to it, for now, this is all we got. Enjoy, f ’em.”
Hot Milk’s sophomore album ‘Corporation P.O.P.’ is an extravagant, uncompromising assessment of the perilous world around us, examined through a sharp British lens that is both witty and universal. Produced by the band’s own Jim Shaw, with Zach Jones and KJ Strock, you can sense Hot Milk’s killer instinct throughout the record, a result of the intensive writing process and recorded as live album, it offers the band at their heaviest with their raw, unapologetic lyrics which brim with unfiltered emotion.
Snapshotting the gloom of the present and unloading very real fears for the future, the sentiment behind ‘Corporation P.O.P.’ might feel locked inside a time capsule. But fast forward two decades, and time will surely prove why this record carries the hallmarks of something timeless.
