New York based electronic punk band Lip Critic announce their signing to Partisan Records. To celebrate the news they have released their new single ‘It’s the Magic’. It’s a dislocating collision of raw-nerved punk and drum and bass tempos that warrants not one, but two drummers, to execute.
The band have already been turning heads all over New York, where they’ve found themselves on hip-hop, punk and dance bills – simultaneously out of place and right at home on all of them. Frontman Bret Kaser, who carries the energy of Fred Schneider of the B-52’s if he fronted a hardcore band, delivers lyrics about the absurdity of everyday life with hypnotic charisma.
Lip Critic will tour this autumn supporting Screaming Females before a headline run of shows in the UK and Europe that includes a stop at Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris. The band was recently announced in the first wave of artists playing SXSW in March 2024.
