SIIICKBRAIN makes a striking return with the debut of her latest single, ‘FILTHY,’ which features a collaboration with Fetish and arrives alongside an official music video. Now available through NOWHERE Recordings in partnership with Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG, the track serves as the third glimpse into her highly anticipated sophomore album, HOUNDSTOOTH, which is scheduled for release on 3RD JUNE 2026. This release maintains the powerful momentum of what is proving to be a transformative era for the prominent culture disruptor, following the success of previous singles ‘PALO SANTO’ and ‘MURKY WATER,’ as well as her notable recent work with Skrillex on his EP Kora.

Within the framework of ‘FILTHY,’ SIIICKBRAIN continues to expand the unapologetic and immersive world she is building for HOUNDSTOOTH. The song effectively pairs her signature cathartic storytelling and deliberate, restrained vocal style with heavy, booming 808s that evoke a haunting sense of eerie stillness. This atmospheric tension eventually breaks for Fetish’s precise and high-octane rap delivery, as the two artists exchange verses with a dominant presence that captures a raw, self-assured energy existing somewhere between absolute control and total chaos. The inherent duality of the track reflects both a sense of serenity and a sharp abrasion, further cementing the emotional push-and-pull that remains at the very center of SIIICKBRAIN’s creative output.

Reflecting on the deeper message of the collaboration, SIIICKBRAIN offers insight into the track's motivation. "’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.

The cinematic accompaniment for the single, directed by Afanasii Chavdarid, serves as a visual mirror to the high-octane energy of the music. The video begins with SIIICKBRAIN arriving at a gas station in a vintage Japanese sports car where she is met by Fetish. From there, the imagery shifts rapidly between high-speed drifting maneuvers in an abandoned lot, the two performers prowling on top of the moving vehicle, and intimate scenes of them preparing for the night ahead. The visual narrative eventually erupts into a scene of pure chaos as a massive explosion lights up the sky behind them. As the background is consumed by flames, SIIICKBRAIN and Fetish are seen dancing in front of the fire, perfectly embodying the fearless and unpredictable spirit that defines the track.
