It’s fair to say that not many bands have had as big of a year than Hot Milk have. 2024 has seem them take to the biggest of stages in Europe and the states supporting the likes of Foo Fighters and Blink 182 as well as sold out headline shows and festival appearances, and now just over a year out from their debut album “A Call To The Void’, they are back with brand new music in single ‘Where Does The Light Get in?’. The song demonstrates their powerful song writing and production prowess as they deliver an emotional powerhouse of a track that is as heavy as it is beautiful. Songwriters Han Mee and Jim Shaw play off each other as they go through hook after hook to produce an epic rock anthem that is a times orchestral in feel and one that truly deserves to be heard on the big stages.

Speaking on the single 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.”
