Lekkerboy is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band Sticky Fingers. The album was announced in March 2022 released on 20 April 2022. It features "guerrilla protester" Danny Lim on the cover.[10] The group explained the word "Lekker" is Dutch for "tasty", saying: "When you find yourself in the Netherlands you hear it a lot. It's equivalent to saying 'ye cool' or 'sssiiiicccckkk'."[10]
The group said the album was originally titled We Can Make the World Glow and was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Eric da Silva Gruener (p.k.a. "Beaker Best") saying, "Even when the world stops our story keeps unravelling and we're good at capturing that story. Lekkerboy is open to your own interpretation and the poetry is left for the taking."[11]
The album peaked at number 37 on the ARIA Albums chart in July 2023 following the deluxe vinyl release.[12]
Wonderland Magazine said "Diverse in every sense, the syrupy-sounding vocals of the band are manipulated to present themselves as both soft and tortured depending on which track you are diving into, a divine feature that is built upon when their signature bouncy production brings a chaos that harmoniously clashes with laid back and acoustic cuts."[13]
