LIP FILLER TRICKY

Innovative South London band Lip Filler have returned with their new single, ‘Tricky’. It’s a big, bold cut that fills the low end with rumbling bass lines and pounding drums, while distorted guitars and off-kilter electronics support and interact with a confident, striding vocal delivery. "All of a sudden it was summer. I had submerged myself in a period of introspection,” explains vocalist George Tucker. “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.” The band are currently working on their third EP. -Dan Peeke
