The track is the first release to follow their lauded debut LP TV or Not TV.
Cowbell-drenched new Liily single ‘Applause’ showcases an outfit that are as hungry as ever, doing what they do best, creating visceral, driving alternative rock that feels as impactful as it is experimental.
The masterstoke of Liily and their sound has always been their ability to balance being as heavy and experimental as they are while maintaining this impossible sense of catchiness and accessibility, and the outfit have done that once again on this track. For every moment of frenetic energy or each left-field turn or note, there is something catchy, or something melodic that draws you in in a completely different fashion. There is so much to love with Liily and their sound, and the uniquely multi-faceted assault that they provide, and ‘Applause’ shows that the outfit are going to continue to surprise and inspire us beyond the release of their 2021 debut LP TV or Not TV.
Speaking on their new single, the band wrote “I guess you can say ‘Applause’ is our own take on a dance song and an exciting follow up to our first record, TV or Not TV. It shows the gradual artistic growth inspired by our first year touring post-pandemic and the necessary performative and sonic shift we endured becoming a 4 piece.”
