Hot Milk have released their latest single ‘The American Machine’, ahead of their upcoming album Corporation P.O.P set for release 27th June.
Singer Han Mee shares on the single, “It is difficult to love the world right now on the global stage. The imperialistic and dangerous rhetoric coming out the USA cannot be ignored. The language and aggression is becoming more ridiculous every day, it feels like the days of decorum and level-headed governance are in the past.
When we look to our cousins across the pond I don’t recognise a common goal, it gets stranger with each passing week. This song is not anti-American, it is anti-arsehole, anti-hate, anti-oligarch. Essentially, America can keep its weird shit over there. We do not want a piece of the American machine. The system is breaking. We have seen your country sevenfold and the love and understanding for those who are struggling is waning within your walls I thought you were built on so-called Christian values? We live in scary and stupid times, how could we not put our worries into song form?
There is always hope, however. I know common sense prevails within many people and good does reside in the USA. It’s up to the rest of us continue and ride this out and to do what we can.”
The band have also announced a series of signings, release parties and shows to celebrate their album release this summer across the UK. You can also catch them on their UK headline run this November, along with Cassyette and Silly Goose. Tickets are available now.
