Partisan Records | Lip Critic

Partisan Records is an independent record label hailing from New York, with offices in LA, London, and Kreuzberg, Berlin. We put out great music from artists like PJ Harvey, Ezra Collective, IDLES, Cigarettes After Sex, Fontaines D.C., Laura Marling, NoSo and Geese, as well as three generations of Kutis: Fela, Femi, and Mádé. Each month, we bring you a special Refuge Worldwide show, sometimes hosted by me Ellie, but often by our artists, or by friends and family of the label.

This month's show is hosted by Lip Critic. NY-based electronic punk band Lip Critic released Hex Dealer, their debut album and first with Partisan Records.

Produced in collaboration by vocalist Bret Kaser and Connor Kleitz, Hex Dealer is painted with a broad pallet of only the most extreme hues of emotion. Drummers Danny Eberle and Ilan Natter combine breakbeats and pingy snares with heavy cymbal and tom work, creating a singular mixture of classic punk/hardcore and electronic styles. The end result is 12 frantic tracks of postmodern pop for the genreless future.
