OVERVIEW:
Chew Lips have spent the whole of 2009 in a whirl of hype, and now, come 2010, the time is right for them to claim their place as bona fide pop stars. Their debut, Dave Kosten produced album “Unicorn” is already drawing plaudits from everyone from Q, Mojo, and Guardian to Grazia, The Fly and others, and the band are currently in the midst of a sold out headline tour of the UK.
 
And now, with their new single “Karen”, described by Time Out as the album’s “stand-out swoon song” and by Q as “the pick of an album full of potential pop hits”, they have the solid gold pop hit that should, if there’s any justice in the world, cross them over firmly into mainstream waters. A gorgeously mellow, emotionally stirring ode to the fallen 70’s superstar Karen Carpenter, “Karen” finds the band on sterling form, with multi-instrumentalists James Watkins and Will Sanderson creating a glitchy, sleekly infectious backdrop to singular frontwoman Tigs’ beautiful tale of loss and redemption. A stunning, instant classic, and just another ace in the hole for Chew Lips.
