Lip Critic - Theft World [CD]
Release Date: 5/1/2026
Label: Partisan Records
Label: Partisan Records
Lip Critic's 2024 Partisan debut Hex Dealer was one of the most-hyped experimental releases of that year ("Like the B-52s on ketamine" -Paste) and signaled the Brooklyn band's arrival as a borderline-batshit creative force. Theft World is their next chapter, built again from the chaos of two drummers locked in psychic combat, a sampler that sounds like it was struck by lightning, and frontman Bret Kaser's paranoid preacher energy. But where Hex Dealer leapt from one absurdist vignette to the next, Theft World plays like a fully locked-in transmission. Themes orbit around the concept of theft, not just as a political force or digital dilemma, but as a surreal, emotional constant. Club rhythms and hardcore breakdowns pull as much from Tyler the Creator's 'Igor' and Korn as they do Skrillex and Soul Coughing, coming together to soundtrack a world that's constantly being striped apart and resold.
