After the highly acclaimed success of Hex Dealer in 2024, the New York band Lip Critic returns with Theft World, an even more cohesive and intense project. Driven by two dueling drummers, chaotic samples, and the almost preacher-like energy of frontman Bret Kaser, the album explores the theme of theft in its political, digital, and emotional forms. Between club rhythms and hardcore explosions, their sound blends influences ranging from Igor to Korn, via Skrillex and Soul Coughing, to capture a fragmented and constantly recycled world.
