Ahead of their November Growing Pains Aus & NZ dates, Los Angeles heavenly harmonic trio, Trousdale release their long anticipated single “The Ick.” A secret, unlisted track on the vinyl for their latest album Growing Pains, the song caught on like a wildfire even before officially being released. The all too familiar feeling of liking a person until they do that one thing you just can’t get over, “The Ick” has become an anthemically relatable moment in Trousdale’s live shows.
The band shared, “‘The Ick’ is, without question, the most important song of our generation. Written with Dan Fernandez in Nashville, it’s a groundbreaking piece that captures the exact moment when infatuation turns to revulsion. You know the feeling: one second they’re charming, the next they’re wearing flip-flops or talking in a baby voice, and suddenly you’re rethinking every life choice that led you here. The ick isn’t just a feeling—it’s a deep, existential betrayal. It’s realizing they’re not the flawless masterpiece you invented in your head, but rather a person who says ‘boys will be boys’ unironically. There’s no recovering from it, so we figured we might as well write a song about it. Call it a public service.”
Back in April, Trousdale released their sophomore album Growing Pains via Independent Co. For the trio made up of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones, the ache of growing through change resonates deeply. In the time since, the band has gone on to make their daytime TV debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show, toured alongside Maren Morris, and sold out date after date across their extensive headline tour of North America and the UK/EU before heading to Australia & New Zealand this November with support from Lovelovelove (Aus only) & Lipstick (NZ only).
