Lip Critic have released “Talon,” the track is the latest single off their album Theft World, available May 1 via Partisan Records. The video was directed by Colter Fellows (“Legs In A Snare,” “Jackpot”). Along with the new music, the band are bringing the final chapter of their Theft Saga residency to a New York boxing ring.

The band adds, “‘Talon’ is a song about scrolling through hell. Traversing an absurd and violent world at 1000 mph in a go-kart your friend’s dad modded based off a YouTube video.”

While touring their debut, frontman Bret Kaser discovered his identity had been stolen, with someone using his information to make hundreds of purchases, including buying the band’s entire discography. When he eventually tracked the person down, he found a young fan who believed he had uncovered a hidden puzzle embedded in Lip Critic’s music and had effectively “won” some larger, cryptic game. That encounter became the foundation for Theft World, a concept album that channels themes of digital obsession, misinterpretation, and fractured identity into something chaotic but sharply intentional.
