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.

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.

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.

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.

The Milk play a headline UK tour this autumn.

Trouble Gonna Bring Me Down

Into Focus EP out 11/06

Lyrics:

A BRAND NEW LIFE

I’m gonna leave the business
Gonna sell my shares
Get away from the daily race
And hide somewhere

I’ll drop my clothes at the Goodwill
In the box downtown
Get away for awhile tonight
And figure it out

Because I didn't know 
This was the ending I was sold 

Yeah I didn't know 
This was the ending I was sold 

Baby, let's start a brand new life
Cause I need a change

Baby, let’s start a brand new life
Cause everyday seems the same

I wanna live on the North Shore
I wanna cut my hair
Find a wife that I like, have some kids,
And a dog named “Bear"
    
I’ll buy a house in the suburbs
With a shared backyard
Lease a car, get some TV screens & a DVR

Because l didn’t know
This was the ending I was sold

Yeah I didn't know 
This was the ending I was sold 

Baby, let's start a brand new life
Cause I need a change

Baby, let’s start a brand new life
Where everyday is not the same

I’ll be having a breakdown waiting for the money to come
But I’m tired of having to save now just for 20 minutes of fun

Into Focus

A Brand New Life

"High Noon Getaway" is our answer to Fall.  This glistening atmospheric anthem pivots just the right amount from our usual synth-heavy ear-worm, trading hooky lead lines and dancey drums for big 80's sweeps, pads, and a Mancini-inspired guitar lick to go with the song title.  But fear not! There's no shortage of vibe and singability - proving we can "take you to that secret place" nearly every time.

Entwining sun-drenched days on the beach with the endless rolling hills of a relaxed country adventure, Islandis brings James Chave-Dubois (East Sydney) and Ben McInerney (Country NSW) together to form something that blends land and sea.

Formed in the depths of winter, Islandis is a brief moment of reflection across the years of escaped summers the two best mates have shared, whilst reveling in the excitement of the approaching warmth of a new season. Its nostalgia and anticipation rolled into a single emotion. 

Drawing influence from artists across time that have similarly embraced this moment, such as Belle and Sebastian, The Whitest Boy Alive, Mondo Rock and The Easybeats, Islandis are swirling guitars and delicate vocals floating across glistening percussion. 

Islandis’ debut release ‘Home’ is a place where all adventures begin and ultimately return, it is not just the first track from the pair but also a journal of escapism and a representation of the urgency of experience. Recorded in James’ and Ben’s home studios then mixed by Adrian Breakspear (Pharrel Williams, Gang of Youths, Ricky Martin), Home is the first track lifted off the duo’s debut EP set for release early 2016.

Changing things up a bit and getting back to the funk. This one was fun.

Tried to get a modern/retro/80's feel with inspiration from one of my favorite movies ever. Bueller....Bueller.....Bueller.....

'The new album The Imposter is dreamy and Bowie-esque... It's a really engaging and adventurous record, I would highly recommend it', Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music (2015)

'This is a really cool new release by talented Aussie singer-songwriter Joel Sarakula... I love this actually... It's like modern Northern Soul', Craig Charles BBC 6 Music (2015)

Joel Sarakula (AUS/UK) writes, produces and sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at his 60's and 70's tinged world through vintage glasses... imagine Ray Manzarek fronting a 70s soul band. Born in Sydney and now based in London, his current album THE IMPOSTER has racked up generous plays across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 and has been play-listed on national radio in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. He is a regular fixture on the festival and club circuit in the UK, Europe and Australia, including appearances at Scala, Latitude, Glastonbury, The Great Escape, V-ROX Vladivostok and Reeperbahn Festival Hamburg. Sarakula is a songwriter who has travelled the world in search of his muse, experiencing everything from being the victim of Caribbean carjackings to performing in the remote fishing villages of Norway, via the dive bars of Europe and the US. It was the hodge-podge musical tapestry of England’s capital that finally drew him to a settling point.

With personal tastes that span from the more avant-garde to soul and pop greats like Sly Stone, Todd Rundgren and Elvis Costello, there are clear nods to contemporaries like Beck and Erlend Øye in terms of ambition and style.

His previous single Northern Soul racked up 150,000 views within the first few months of the online and limited edition 7" vinyl release by mod and soul specialists Heavy Soul Records (UK) - Sarakula has definitely touched more than a few Northern Souls. The remix of his latest single European Skies (due Aug 19, 2016) teeters on the edge of a decadent night in 1980s Ibiza before unashamedly losing itself in Euro Dance-Pop.

Both songs are from current album The Imposter (Elevate Records), where Sarakula lovingly indulges his late 60s and early 70s references while executing them with a colder, contemporary vision. Ever the internationalist, Sarakula recorded The Imposter in studios spread across London, Berlin and Sydney with a host of his musical comrades appearing on the record. It's a fitting album title for a man unafraid of playing his various roles as singer, artist, writer and producer. Joel Sarakula is THE IMPOSTER.
