Trousdale – The Ick
Today, Trousdale, the Los Angeles heavenly harmonic trio, release the 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. Watch the official video directed by Giovanna Trujillo of Sworn Friends Studio.
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.
Currently underway, Trousdale is supporting Lake Street Dive on a run of shows across the south. On October 8, they will have the esteemed privilege of making their Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville’s historic venue. And later this fall, Trousdale will embark on their first ever tour in Australia.
