Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Lips is a four-piece musical project led bySteph BrownandFen Ikner. Their music finds its roots in the sweaty dance floors of the early 00's new rave scene, the grit of earlyBeastie BoysLPs and the tender embrace of synth pop. Ultimately resulting in a sound that's a celebration of feeling awkward and embracing it anyway. 11 indie songs that are musically varied (from intimate synth stories, to angular post-punk, to joyful dances in your living room) but grounded bySteph Brown’svoice, standing off to one side, back against the wall, messing with the tab of a beer can.
While this debut album has been a long time coming, it's not likeLipshaven't been busy. Since their inception in the late 00's they band have released a handful of singles and EPs, won the Silver Scroll Award in 2012 for Everything To Me, toured internationally as musical directors and performers in award winning musical stage playDaffodils, which they later went on to music direct and score as a feature film.
Eager to re-engage with playing original musicStephandFenenlisted the help ofRuby Walsh(she/her)(Dateline, Trip Pony) andMaude Morris(she/her) (Lexxa). In 2019 the band releasedGuilty Talk(mixed byUnknown Mortal OrchestraandSilicon’sKody Nielson), which went to Number 1 on NZ’s Student Radio Network. In 2020 the Covid-19 lockdowns led the band to finally finish their long awaited debut release.
