Lip Filler have shared "CARLING" as the latest single from their forthcoming EP, witchescrew.

Discussing new single "CARLING", George Tucker said: "The lyrics for CARLING were recycled from a mixtape I dropped when I was 17 (the original has a second verse regarding Fosters...) and the lead synth was ripped from a B section of a criminally early demo we had called ‘I got my hands’ - a song about w*nking (I wish I was joking). Evidently, this was a very anarchic time for us. It ended up becoming a crowd favourite in our live set so we kept on playing it - now here we are. The mystery of life."

Bookended by the first two songs they wrote together as band - “Limelite” and newly released single “CARLING”, for witchescrew Lip Filler returned to the studio to record with Declan Gaffney, aka St Francis Hotel (Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka, Wasia Project) whom the band also worked with on their self-titled debut EP.

With all the songs written and road-tested on the stage before arriving in the studio, Lip Filler set out to challenge themselves to break free from any preconceived notions of what the band was. “I think we're in an era of music where literally anything is possible” proposes George, a sentiment which pulses through the veins of witchescrew.

witchescrew will be released on 24 May via Chess Club Records.
