Lip Filler have shared new single ‘Tricky’.
The South London band have had a wicked year, including their standout EP ‘witchscrew’. Road-testing new material, Lip Filler are continuing to accelerate, and recently supporting the one-and-only Master Peace on his extensive UK tour.
Woking with producer St Francis Hotel (Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka), new single ‘Tricky’ is a rowdy helter-skelter ride, with the searing guitar lines exploding out of the stereo.
Out now, it’s another missile from the South London band, who deftly translate their live prowess into the studio environment.
Vocalist George Tucker comments…
All of a sudden it was summer. I had submerged myself in a period of introspection. At one point I remember feeling so removed that I wrote the entire opening verse on my leg with a permanent marker on the tube, to the sideward glances of commuters.
After scrawling ‘I’m giving up / I’m getting out’, everything began to click. Suddenly it felt cathartic. Two weeks later I moved out of London. After we finished the hook, it ended up becoming this tongue-in-cheek pop song. I’ve noticed we do that a lot. Icebergs. Hopeless anxieties smothered with surface-level sleaze. Maybe that’s what Lip Filler is? I say that like any of us have a clue…
‘Tricky’ comes equipped with a stellar live video, shot live at Camden sweat-pit Electric Ballroom – tune in now.
