LP - NEW/NEW - LIP CRITIC, Theft World (Partisan Records; PTSN3064-3, Europe 2026, Inner, Silver Metallic Vinyl), , 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. - 1816263C *** In Stock In Our Crouch End Shop ***RELEASE DATE: 01/05/2026 - PRE-ORDER - This title is available for pre-order and will be sent out to arrive on the release date, which may be subject to change.
