Milk Bar Gang is back with a bold new track, “I Want Control” from their latest EP Shudder. This Melbourne-based duo continues to craft their own path, blending alt-pop energy with a unique artistic vision. Made up of Felix Chapple and Bianca Cao, they started creating music during the 2021 lockdowns and you can still feel that raw, DIY spirit in their sound.
This track stands out right away. It’s packed with catchy melodies, strong vocals, and a sound that feels both modern and a bit nostalgic. There’s a tight balance between the electronic elements and the emotional tone of the song. It’s the kind of track you find yourself humming without even realizing it. What makes Milk Bar Gang special is their complete control over their work, from songwriting and recording to visuals and performance. Their creativity really shines through in this song.
I really enjoyed this track. It’s fresh, fun and full of personality. The whole Shudder EP deserves a listen, but this track is definitely a highlight. If you like music that stands out and feels genuine, give this one a spin.
