Lip Filler
West London 5-piece Lip Filler sign to Chess Club Records and share new single Haircut, produced by St Francis Hotel (Greentea Peng, Michael Kiwanuka).
Originally from the south west of England and now based in Shepherds Bush, the band make this relocation the focus for their first single for Chess Club Records. Commenting on the track the band explain: “'Haircut' is about adapting to a metropolitan lifestyle and constantly being over-stimulated and confronted by technology. We all moved to London at a weird and unwelcoming time, so we feel these lyrics resemble the headspace we approached after moving to the city."
The track's accompanying video was co-directed by the band themselves and Olaf Lawrence was filmed between Frome in Somerset and their flat in west London. Discussing the video the band comment: "The 'Haircut' video was a frantic project that we managed to nail down in pretty much 5 consecutive days. The concept of the video was one that we’d had brewing for a little while and (being the case with most of our ideas) it took a while to refine and logically plan out. For our first video - we wanted to ensure we captured who we all are as people and more importantly as a band. We did this by splitting the video so that some of the scenes were shot in our hometown and the rest were shot in our kitchen. It was great fun. The two separate locations correlate to the themes of the song about moving from the country and adjusting to the city lifestyle."
