Los Angeles harmony trio Trousdale unleash The Ick, the once-hidden bonus track from their Growing Pains vinyl. What started as a secret encore has snowballed into a fan-favorite moment, with audiences laughing, pointing fingers at their exes, and singing every word before the song even hit streaming. Now the exclusive is released digitally with a cheeky, vibrant video directed by Giovanna Trujillo of Sworn Friends Studio. Written with Dan Fernandez in Nashville, the track playfully documents the precise moment infatuation flips into revulsion. Whether it’s flip-flops, baby talk, or a cringeworthy cliché that kills the vibe. the trio joke:
‘The Ick’ is, without question, the most important song of our generation. The ick isn’t just a feeling—it’s a deep, existential betrayal… so we figured we might as well write a song about it. Call it a public service.
The all-too-relatable single transforms awkward heartbreak into communal catharsis, proving why Trousdale’s blend of humor and harmony resonates so powerfully. The release follows the April arrival of Trousdale’s sophomore album that sparked sold-out headline shows across North America and Europe and a daytime TV debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Currently on the road with Lake Street Dive, the trio will make their Grand Ole Opry debut on October 8 before heading to Australia for their first-ever tour there. With soaring harmonies, candid storytelling, and now an anthem for anyone who’s ever “caught the ick,” Trousdale continue to expand their growing legacy. Stream “The Ick,” watch the official video, and catch up with Trousdale on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.
