After teasing the single for a little while now, Hot Milk have
just shared their vulnerable, standalone new song and video, Where Does The Light Get
In?.
The track is the band’s first new msince last year’s 4/5-rated A
CALL TO THE VOID, with Han Mee describing it as “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.”
“Sadness doesn’t last forever, but when it
consumes you it feels like it’s there for eternity,” adds Jim Shaw. “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.”
