Anya Alchemy Delivers Bold Indie Alt-Pop Anthem with New Single ‘ICK’

Naarm/Melbourne artist Anya Alchemy is back with her latest single, ICK, a fiery alt-pop track brimming with wit, confidence, and unapologetic swagger. Released today, ICK blends sharp production with playful yet empowering lyricism, making it a standout addition to Anya’s dynamic catalogue.

Inspired by experiences working in a pub and encountering less-than-stellar personalities, Anya crafted ICK as an anthem for knowing your worth and refusing to settle. The song’s creation was a family affair, with Anya collaborating closely with her producer brother, Jay Ferriere. Together, they combined punchy beats and clever lyrics to craft a track that’s as fun as it is fearless.

“Whilst at work I wrote down the line ‘Gap teeth, mean streak’ in my Notes app – thinking nothing of it. Later in the week I went to my brother’s house to work on music, he played me this ridiculous beat and the words just kept pouring out. We spent the whole night tweaking the words so that they weren’t so ambiguous and by the end of the night we had our song. ICK is really different from anything I’ve ever written before.”  – Anya Alchemy.

Fresh off performances at Hello Sunshine Festival and supporting acts like Pierce Brothers and Boo Seeka, Anya continues to prove herself as an artist on the rise. With ICK setting the tone for more exciting releases to come, Anya Alchemy is forging her own unique path in the indie music scene.
