SIIICKBRAIN returns with her explosive new single “PALO SANTO,” out now via NOWHERE Recordings in partnership with Pale Chord / Rise Records BMG. The release follows her recent collaboration with Skrillex on his latest EP, Kora, and further cements her reputation for pushing sonic boundaries without compromise.
Driven by a relentless four-on-the-floor kick and razor-sharp percussion, “PALO SANTO” amplifies SIIICKBRAIN’s rebellious, hard-charging aesthetic. She opens with a feral snarl — asserting that she always gets what she wants — slicing through a pulsing bassline before pivoting into a sultry, almost angelic chorus. The tension between grit and grace underscores the track’s cathartic duality, balancing unapologetic confidence with flashes of vulnerability that have become central to her artistic identity.
Directed by Raphaële, the accompanying visual mirrors the song’s raw magnetism. The video juxtaposes stark industrial backdrops with kinetic nightlife energy: a lone dancer pole-spins outside an abandoned warehouse, SIIICKBRAIN prowls flirtatiously around a pickup truck, and high-heeled revelers rave in a fog-soaked, dimly lit dance floor. The result is both confrontational and hypnotic — a world that feels dangerous, sensual, and defiantly self-possessed.
A true multi-hyphenate, SIIICKBRAIN exists at the intersection of music, fashion, and visual art, constructing a fully immersive creative universe around her persona. Blending experimental pop, alternative, hip-hop, industrial, and electronic textures, she resists easy categorization. Her fearless vision has drawn the attention of Rick Rubin’s American Songs and sparked co-signs and collaborations that span scenes — from Skrillex to Willow — reinforcing her status as one of the most uncompromising new voices in alternative music.
