Hot Milk announce new EP ‘I Just Wanna Know What Happens When I’m Dead’
HOT MILK have announced a new EP!
Titled I Just Wanna Know What Happens When I’m Dead, the upcoming EP from the Manchester-based alternative band is their brand new studio effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year, making their label debut at new new Music For Nations.
“These songs are honest,” says vocalist/guitarist Han Mee about the upcoming EP. “I have nothing to hide. Everyone’s on anti-depressants these days. It’s the world we live in, it makes people sad. Capitalism. Is it broken? 100 per cent. I’m angry that the fact that we’re sold a world that actually doesn’t make your inner peace happy. Humans need love and community and a lot of the time, there is no love and the community has dissolved. We’re angry, both politically and existentially in terms of the system we now live in. But also, we’re angry at the fact that we’re sad quite a lot. But we’re trying to not just sit there and take it. We’re trying to fix it, by building a family through this band.”
“Life is fragile,” vocalist/guitarist Jim Shaw adds. “You can’t take things with you, but you can make the best memories. That’s the most important thing in life. Your currency is your memory. What you can take with you is something that absolutely makes the blood pump round your veins and gives you goosebumps,” agrees Han. “That’s what this band is to us. It’s our passion. That’s what this EP is about.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming release; the title-track I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I’M DEAD.
Speaking about the new song, Jim Shaw says, “this isn’t just a song, it’s like an internal organ or body part. A very piece of ourselves made at home, recorded at home, produced at home. Where we could cry and laugh and argue and be free. Off we go into the unknown, we don’t know if you will like what we’ve done, but just know it’s real.”
