Charles Bradley - I Believe In Your Love

(c) Wah Wah 45s

"An atmospheric return" - Clash Music 
"Between the latest incarnation of Arctic Monkeys and a soulful Paolo Nutini" - Gigwise
 "Unadulterated Stax-style soul...they sound like a band that’ s just finding their groove" - The Line Of Best Fit

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)

Trouble in the Land (Instrumental)

In November 2014, The Milk joined forces with underground-soul label Wah Wah 45s to tease the first taste of their matured new sound. Having spent months developing a classic-soul sensibility with production don and "The Bees" mastermind Paul Butler, the band released 100, one-sided white label 7"s of 'Deliver Me'. They sold out in just a few hours.

That Christmas, as the band returned to Butler's medieval-barn studio on the Isle of Wight to complete the recording of 'Favourite Worry', interest was quickly growing. Though there were nerves all round about how people would react to their deviation from the pop sensibilities of debut album 'Tales From The Thames Delta', band and label remained faithful that this important collection of songs would be recognized as something truly special.

The music drew strong influences from the likes of Bobby Womack, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers and the Isley Brothers (you can hear an incredible likeness to Ron Isley in lead singer Rick Nunn's vocals). But more than that, the songwriting was, without doubt, a match for so much of that classic era's legendary output.

By the following Christmas, Favourite Worry had been named one of the BBC Radio 6Music albums of the year, nominated by Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan. The band had sold out shows at The Dome, Oslo and Scala in London and completed a packed UK tour.

Since then The Milk have gone on to play festivals including Love Supreme and The Funk & Soul Weekender and sold out London's Union Chapel with an exceptional orchestral performance, captured in all it's glory on The Milk Live At The Union Chapel.

To complete this incredible journey for the four-strong soul band from Essex Wah Wah 45s are now releasing the deluxe edition of the album. The package include two previously unreleased tracks from the original recording session, 'I Heard A Shot' and 'My Son The Killer'. These sit alongside b-sides and remixes including Kicking The Smoke, the hugely popular Tall Black Guy Remix of 'Trouble Gonna Bring Me Down and the brand new remix of Deliver Me by Baby Prince.

With these never before heard new tracks to satisfy the die-hard fans, who have followed from the beginning, this new album should also offer more than a little enticement to those who have yet to discover the magic of the band.

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.
