Lip Filler returns with explosive new single ‘Tricky’
South London’s Lip Filler is back with their dynamic new single, ‘Tricky’. The track sees the band delve deeper into themes of betrayal and the desire to break free from the confines of London.
‘Tricky’ marks Lip Filler’s first release since their acclaimed EP witchescrew. Produced by St Francis Hotel, known for work with artists like Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka, the song’s raw intensity is magnified through relentless guitars, pulsing basslines, and experimental electronics. The band recently debuted ‘Tricky’ live on tour with Master Peace, and the accompanying music video shot at Electric Ballroom in Camden captures the track’s live energy.
In vocalist George Tucker’s words, the song captures a cathartic moment:
“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’ is available everywhere starting today.
