SIIICKBRAIN & Fetish Release “Filthy”
SIIICKBRAIN returns with her new single “FILTHY” featuring Fetish, alongside an accompanying music video, out now via NOWHERE Recordings in partnership with Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG. The track arrives as the third release from her forthcoming sophomore album HOUNDSTOOTH, arriving June 3rd, continuing the momentum of what is shaping up to be a defining run for the culture disruptor following “PALO SANTO,” “MURKY WATER,” and her recent collaboration with Skrillex on his EP Kora.
“FILTHY” builds on the unapologetic world SIIICKBRAIN is crafting with HOUNDSTOOTH, pairing her cathartic storytelling and restrained vocal delivery against booming 808s that create a sense of eerie stillness. The tension gives way to Fetish’s sharp, high-energy rap cadence, as the two trade verses with a commanding presence, channeling a raw, self-assured energy that blurs the line between control and chaos. The track’s duality captures both serenity and abrasion, reinforcing the emotional push-and-pull at the core of SIIICKBRAIN’s artistry.
“’FILTHY’ to me turns rage into power. The lyrics are meant to bring a feeling of reclaiming control from men who exploit women, reframing violence into an act of reflection. This song goes hand in hand with my album’s exploration of duality where softness and brutality coexist, and survival becomes its own form of strength and empowerment. Keeping the beat fun and fresh, this is another one for the hot girls,” says SIIICKBRAIN.
Directed by Afanasii Chavdarid, the accompanying video mirrors the track’s high-octane energy, opening with SIIICKBRAIN pulling up to a gas station in a vintage Japanese sports car before being joined by Fetish. The visuals cut between high-speed drifting in an abandoned lot, the two prowling atop the vehicle, and scenes of them getting ready together, before erupting into chaos as an explosion ignites a fire behind them. As flames engulf the backdrop, SIIICKBRAIN and Fetish dance in front of the blaze, embodying the track’s fearless, unpredictable spirit.
