If you haven’t realized by now, I’m always on the search for new music. Something fun, something unique, something interesting. I came across this pop-dance-rock band called Chew Lips that I’m a little bit smitten with. Hailing from the UK, Chew Lips is a dance/pop trio led by singer Tigs – yes, Tigs. Well, I’m in love with Tigs’ voice. It reminds me at times of kd lang, which is a total compliment. The production is minimal, clean and direct. It’s not overdone and that’s what makes it brilliant.

Their debut album Unicorn was just released in the UK in January and received a 4/5 rating from Q magazine, so pretty impressive. They formed in 2008 and released some songs throughout 2009, namely their claim to fame record Solo and Salt Air, neither of which are featured on their album oddly enough. The latest single is Play Together. Check out some videos after the jump.

Tracks I’d recommend: Eight, Karen, Seven (which musically reminds me of Janet’s So Much Betta during the verses = great), Piano Song. Hell, the whole album is good.
