Swedish dark-wave, gothic shoegazers Pink Milk make their highly anticipated return sharing news of their third album Night On Earth out 15th March via Black Hair Records.
With this announcement, Pink Milk also share the single “You Will Follow Me To Hell (Night On Earth)” a heavenly introduction to the album that draws you into its euphoric combination of cathedral-sized soundscapes and dreamy, angelic vocals.
Speaking on the single, the band say it “serves as the gateway to an exploration of the soul.”
This announcement follows the band’s celebrated single “Andromeda” and their critically acclaimed album Ultraviolet, earning them plaudits from Sweden’s largest music publication GAFFA as well as attention further from home gaining the support of CLASH, DIY, Wonderland and The Line of Best Fit.
Inspired by science fiction and “the end of the world”, Night On Earth marks the start of a new era for Pink Milk, embracing a darker aesthetic. Throughout Night On Earth the band has explored a more electronic sound in the studio, combining ethereal soul-inflected instrumentation, ghostly vocals, blurred chords and heavy rhythms in a cosmic sonic landscape. The band continue the doomsday theme of the album while taking on an phantasmal interpretation of country classic, Skeeter Davis’ “End Of The World”.
HEAR / SHARE “YOU WILL FOLLOW ME TO HELL (NIGHT ON EARTH)” HERE
“You Will Follow Me To Hell (Night On Earth)” offers a first taste of Pink Milk’s musical evolution. Elsewhere, “Andromeda” is a poetic Swedish language love-song leaning heavily into the eighties arrangement, cautiously mapping out the atmosphere before breaking into euphoric dreampop. While the album closer “Boy Tears” soundtracks an un-answered phone call – a missed connection, an eerie voicemail invitation from an estranged party that is never replied to, a cliff-hanger that leaves you wanting answers for something that will never come.
The band will also be embarking on two dates across their home country of Sweden to commemorate the release of their Night On Earth.
