Hot Milk Returns with New Song “Where Does The Light Get In?”
Manchester-based alt-rock band Hot Milk, consisting of Han Mee (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jim Shaw (lead vocals/guitar), Tom Paton (bass) and Harry Deller (drums), returned with a new song “Where Does The Light Get In?” on September 6, 2024.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Sian Eleri.
The track is their first music since their debut album “A Call to the Void”, which was released last August.
It was written by Hannah Mee, and James Shaw who also produce the track.
The accompanying music video was directed by Zak Pinchin.
Han Mee said of the song, “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.”- Jim Shaw said, “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.”
