Track of the Day | Lip Filler – Tricky

Lip Filler have released their new single ‘Tricky’.

The track is the first new music since their EP ‘witchescrew’ and comes ahead of their third EP release due out in 2025.

Speaking of the single, vocalist George Tucker said: “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…”

With its thunderous guitars, pulsating bass, and unconventional electronics, ‘Tricky’ guides listeners on a dynamic journey through its richly layered indie rock sound.
