Chew Lips

Though they need to rethink that terrible name, up-and-coming Londoners Chew Lips are a likeable bunch – their aim is to make “music that sounds so dated it doesn’t date”, and on their debut they’ve fulfilled the brief. Unicorn is 32 minutes of the bippety-boppety electro sounds that defined 2009, making it feel both contemporary(ish) and retro, with the fleshy vocals of one-name singer Tigs comprising the selling point. [The Guardian]

Chew Lips are flying over from England to play their first NYC show this Monday, 4/12, at Littlefield. Rock bands Diehard and The Press open. Not the most congruous bill, but such is the world of showcasing.

You can download their track “Seven” above which is from their debut album, Unicorn, which came out earlier this year. It’s a one-off show, as the band flies back for a UK tour. All dates are below, along with some of Chew Lips videos.
