Track Description:

Lipphead is a production duo consisting of producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp. Together they create playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddie Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

"On ‘The Squirrel from Ipanema,’ there was a subtle Astrud Gilberto vibe, so we leaned into that. Eliot took what was a fairly organic, sample-based mid-tempo track and spun it into a dope synthy electronic type thing. That process is really what this whole album is," notes Blockhead.

"The Squirrel From Ipanema'' is first taste from the full length Lipphead album “In The Nude,” due for release via Young Heavy Souls on June 24th, 2022 and set to be available on digital, cassette, and vinyl formats.
