Corporation P.O.P

Hot Milk have today announced their sophomore album, Corporation P.O.P, set for release on 29th June 2025 via Music For Nations with the rebel rowsing single 90 Seconds To Midnight, with a video featuring British legend Frank Skinner.

"The doomsday clock is nearing midnight and this frantic song sets the mood for the oncoming nuclear winter." says singer Han Mee.  "We wanted to punch you proper in the face with this, this balls to the wall little riffy boy comes bounding at you relentlessly. Lyrically we took inspiration from 17th century philosopher Rousseau and the poet John Betjemen with his poem “Slough”.  Rousseau set out that humanity would never be free as we create our own shackles. In this case, we’ve created our own demise. Where as Betjemens poem takes this notion of demise and laughs at it, inviting the nukes in “come friendly bombs”…. Let’s set the gaff on fire and start again."

Corporation P.O.P, produced by Jim Shaw, Zach Jones and KJ Strock, offers the band at their heaviest with their raw, unapologetic lyrics which brim with unfiltered emotion.  The record serves as part social commentary, showing the darker side to the world which they found themselves surrounded by when writing the record, all the while keeping their light, mocking humour throughout.

"Corporation P.O.P is a flurry of thoughts, feelings, ramblings from the afters n questions about where we’re at right now in England, the further western world and emotionally. It is an entry from the perspective of us lot who live a dichotomy of months in faraway lands and then experience the sudden grounding of returning home to Salford.  It’s hard not to compare, contrast and try to understand. P.O.P = Payment of Pain. We all must live with the burden of modernity and this pain has been commodified; we all must pay. Corporation pop itself is a term Hans grandad used to refer to the water supply, something that runs throughout all our homes, just as current events run through us all," says vocalist/ guitarist Jim Shaw.
