Listen to Hot Milk’s new “anti-arsehole, anti-hate, anti-oligarch” single, The American Machine

Hot Milk have unveiled a brand-new single and video, The American Machine.

Taken from second album Corporation P.O.P – which is coming out on June 27 – the track reflects how things are going right now across the pond…

“It is difficult to love the world right now on the global stage,” admits Han Mee. “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.”
