Hailing from the same Manchester DIY scene that birthed label mates Mazes, Milk Maid's debut album finds songwriter Martin Cohen (of Nine Black Alps) drawing from a host of influences: deconstructed '60's girl group melodies, Ramones swagger, Kurt Cobain-styled fatalism, Bob Pollard's seemingly endless supply of pop hooks. Milk Maid pitches their sweet, sun-drenched pop hooks against viscerally dark and sinister lyrics; exploring mortality, disintegrating relationships, and other human darkness' against the gray backdrop of Cohen's Manchester upbringing.
