SIIICKBRAIN has officially released her sophomore album HOUNDSTOOTH, out now via NOWHERE Recordings in partnership with Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG. The project arrives following the release of album singles “PALO SANTO,” “MURKY WATER,” and “FILTHY” featuring Fetish, capping off a defining run for the culture disruptor, who was also recently featured on Skrillex’s EP Kora. Alongside the album, she has also released the music video for focus track “CONTROL.”
“CONTROL” further expands the unapologetic world SIIICKBRAIN has built throughout HOUNDSTOOTH. Driven by a thumping four-on-the-floor kick drum, metallic industrial percussion, and an accelerating acid synth bassline, the track channels a sense of urgency and forward momentum. Against the high-energy production, SIIICKBRAIN confronts the dehumanization and loss of control she sees in the world around her, transforming frustration into an act of resilience. The result is one of the album’s most commanding moments, balancing catharsis and empowerment while reinforcing the themes of duality, strength, and control woven throughout HOUNDSTOOTH.
“‘CONTROL’ is a song I wrote about how I’ve been feeling with the current state of the world and how many people are losing control over different parts of their lives to a point where it’s creating this sense of dehumanization. The production is meant to feel powerful and driving, almost like a push forward, taking back control of your state of mind in spite of everything happening around you,” says SIIICKBRAIN.
