London band Lip Filler have returned with new new single “Tricky”, the track is the band’s first new music since the arrival of their EP witchescrew. Lip Filler are currently completing work on their third EP, due for release on their own witchescrew imprint in 2025.

Lip Filler have also enjoyed a busy 2024, with appearances at The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, Left Of The Dial, Y Not, VISIONS and more. The band includes, Nate Wicks (drums), Verity Hughes (vocals, guitar), Jude Scholefield (vocals, guitar), George Tucker (vocals and keys), Theodore Pasmore (bass)

For new single “Tricky” Lip Filler returned to the studio with producer St Francis Hotel (Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka). Freshly road-tested on tour with Master Peace, the song’s accompanying video was shot last month at Electric Ballroom in Camden.

Further expanding on their bold artistic vision, “Tricky” explores themes of betrayal, manipulation, and a conflicted desire to escape London – spearheaded by crushing guitars, rumbling bass lines, off kilter electronics and pummelling drums.

Of the new 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…”
