Sometimes it takes a few bumps to find the right direction; often it involves experience, guts and self-belief to trust yourself and venture from one to find another. The Milk are a band that believe with utter conviction that they've now found their way.  

“Our second record, like many others before us, has been a life affirming but at times painful experience. For  all  the  good we  did  on  our  first  record, we  felt  that  there we're  many  unanswered  questions.  It  was important that this album put the record straight, not just for our fans and peers but for ourselves.”- Dan Legresley

 Fuelled by a rediscovery of the music and artists that originally inspired their formation, the four walls of their studio were ablaze  with a soundtrack of Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes and the Isley Brothers throughout the songwriting process for their new album.   From the swagger of symphonic opener ‘ Wanderlust’  to heartfelt ballad ‘ Lose That Way’  to the thunderous blues of the closing title track; The Milk’ s confidence in these songs and their execution is clearly audible. Captured in a tireless outburst of creativity at the end of 2014, ‘ Favourite Worry’  is The Milk at their soulful, honest and engaging best. 

“‘ Favourite Worry’  is born from the difficulties that everyone feels as they move through life, the dreams that falter, the friendships that struggle or the love that falls away. Each song is born from this very personal atonement that each of us has had to reconcile ourselves with. It was vital that the record demonstrate the many years we have played together, the blood harmonies and sibling rhythm section. Just as importantly the need for the sound to reach deep into the guts of the listener, as so many of our influences do, was always at the forefront.”- Dan Legresley

Eager  to  share  their  new  songs, ‘ Deliver  Me’   was  released  as  a    limited  7”  single  in  November  2014  - finding its  way  onto  the  playlists  of  BBC  6  Music’ s  Lauren  Laverne,  Huey  Morgan  and Gilles  Peterson  - while The Milk’ s dedicated fans packed out Tufnell Park’ s The Dome for the band’ s triumphant live return. The band unveiled their new songs in full for the first time to an intimate sold out show at Hackney’ s Oslo in July to  coincide  with the  release  of  single ‘ No  Interruptions’ ,  one  of  the first  songs  written for  'Favourite Worry'. 

“‘ No Interruptions’  provided us with a tone, musical flavour and a lyrical yardstick to which all of the other tracks on the album had to have in common. The song is about defiance and retribution, emotions that were common in the studio at that time.”- Rick Nunn

The  Bees'  Paul  Butler,  who  proved  his  production  mastery  with  Michael  Kiwanuka's  Mercury  Prize nominated debut, invited the band to record at Chale Abbey, a medieval barn on the Isle of Wight. Guided by Butler, the sessions captured the genuine version of The Milk: the sounds and honesty of soul. 

"There’ s a lot to love about The Milk. Pretty much family they’ ve been together so long, all have a focused passion on making the band work. They’ re equal in what each bring to the team, they practice more than any band I’ ve met. They know what they want now, which is source of the real magic. That quality in bands is becoming rarer, but they’ ve got it now.”
- Paul Butler (Producer)

Wonderlust

This song appears on Great Voices of Harlem: Gregory Porter – Donald Smith – Mansur Scott feat. Paul Zauner’s Blue Brass  (PAO11210).

This CD brings together Paul Zauner’s world-class musicians with three incredible gentlemen who truly deserve the title “Great Voices of Harlem”.
 “While Gregory Porter, born in 1971, empathizes with Harlem’s history, his fellow vocalist Mansur Scott, lived it - from the ground up. Scott was raised a block from the birthplace of bebop, Minton’s Playhouse, and hit the streets at 15, hanging tough with Lee Morgan, jazz tubaist Ray Draper and Charles Mingus, in fact Scott’s estranged mother copped with Lady Day. The third great vocalist is Donald Smith, a singer who also worked with Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Art Blakey alongside Jymie Merritt and Don Byas, but is probably best known for his ground-breaking recordings with his brother Lonnie Liston Smith. These three giants from very different backgrounds and generations, sing their soulful hearts out on classics like “Watermelon Man, “Moanin’”, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” or Horace Silver’s standards “Peace” and “Song For My Father”.
