The soft vocals of Mark McKenna convey a smooth eroticism that at once seems both vulnerable yet confident; there&#8217;s a sense that he might be a bit dangerous, but you&#8217;re caught in his spell, and even if you&#8217;re not exactly powerless to resist, you sort of don&#8217;t want to anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The instrumentals belie a multi-layered complexity that takes a few listens to truly appreciate. At first you hear the hums and taps and buzzing sounds, but on subsequent listens you find your focus diverted by the guitars, tinkling bell sounds, bird like noises&#8230;wonderful stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">milk.&#8217;s debut single, &#8216;Drama Queen&#8217; has so far garnered more than 400,000 streams, and &#8216;Temperature&#8217; received critical acclaim from Earmilk, Nialler9, GoldenPlec, and <a href=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/07\/what-temperature-is-your-milk-new-music-from-irish-rnb-pop-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">us<\/a>, among others. &#8216;A Little More&#8217; should definitely follow this pattern.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">milk. will be supporting Delorentos on their Irish tour next month, and they&#8217;ll be playing their biggest headline show to date on December 14, at Dublin&#8217;s Workman&#8217;s Club.
