Lapping up a fresh soul flavour of Milk

The Milk are the cream of British soul bands.

- 

In a world of endless noise - social media alerts, the toxic hostility of Twitter/X, the strident bombardment of rolling news - they offer something different. A musical sanctuary.

Like Roman god Janus, the Essex band look in two directions at once, skilfully marrying yesteryear’s soul with modern attitudes.

You hear echoes of Bill Withers and Kamasi Washington along with bursts of Earth Wind & Fire brass, lush strings, funk, blissful harmonies and Curtis Mayfield-style percussion.
