“Karen” is previewed from Chew Lips’ debut LP, Unicorn, due at the end of January. their song “Play Together” has grown to be one of our favorite dance-pop tracks of the year, and “Karen” has a similar effect, yet is different with its subtle exploration of catchy guitar work. more than anything though, this tune grows on you.
