Hot Milk - A Call To The Void Album Review

Hot Milk unlease their debut album A Call to the Void.

Hot Milk unleased their debut album A Call to the Void last week [25/08/23]. Making a bold diverse statement of their musical identity. The Manchester-based duo, consisting of Hannah Mee and Jim Shaw, have crafted a collection that perfectly showcases their versatility, creativity, and passion.

The album takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions from the explosive opener ‘HORROR SHOW’ to the emotional closer ‘FORGET ME NOT’. They aren’t afraid to experiment with different styles from pop-punk to electro-rock to metalcore. Hot Milk seamlessly blends these elements and sounds, crafting a unique and refreshing sound.

One of the strengths of Hot Milk is the vocal interplay between Mee and Shaw. They know how to compliment each other from harmonizing to trading verses or even screaming their lungs out. They are a vocal double act that has perfected their craft. Their dynamics are on best display on tracks ‘PARTY ON MY DEATHBED’, ‘ALICE COOPER’S POOL HOUSE’, and ‘OVER YOUR DEAD BODY’.

Their lyrics are witty, honest, and at times an emotional gut punch. Hot Milk tackles themes of mental health, self-doubt, and rebellion in a relatable, honest, and entertaining way.

Hot Milk built them a seat at the table with their creative, and entertaining EP’s. A Call to the Void cements their place as one of the premier alternative acts right now. Their sound is exciting, fresh, and filled with passion. A Call to the Void is a sound that needs to be heard.
