Music: TICKLES – “THE SAFEST CAR”: Chaos, Charm, and Indie Pop on Fire

TICKLES are an electrifying indie art-pop band from the UK, fusing playful absurdity with raw emotional bite. Known for their off-kilter lyrics, infectious hooks, and chaotic live energy, the band occupy a space somewhere between Wet Leg’s wry humor, The Orielles’ experimental edge, and Everything Everything’s surreal pop intelligence.

Emerging from the UK’s DIY scene, TICKLES have built a loyal following with their blend of wit, weirdness, and cathartic energy. Their sound feels handcrafted yet unhinged — shimmering synths crash into garage-rock riffs, and punchy drums collide with lyrics that turn everyday anxiety into art. It’s pop with teeth, and punk with a grin.

“THE SAFEST CAR” is a restless, tongue-in-cheek anthem about control, comfort, and the illusion of safety. Beneath its bright hooks and frantic tempo lies a story about wanting to escape the chaos of modern life — only to realize you’re the one driving straight into it.

Lyrically sharp and sonically manic, the track captures everything that makes TICKLES irresistible: humor as armor, noise as freedom, and melody as the only way out.

With “THE SAFEST CAR”, they prove that being unhinged has never sounded so good.
