Hot Milk have today announced their sophomore album, ‘Corporation P.O.P,’ set for release on June 27th 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.”
The video was shot by longtime friend Kennedy in their literal backyards of Salford and through a stroke of cheeky luck, they got British legend Frank Skinner involved.
“His background with Room 101 (an Orwellian nod) and the fact he wrote Three Lions was a perfect fit for this bleak albeit tongue-in-cheek look at the state of the world from the grey filter of Salford,” says Mee.
