Here’s a weirder one from multi-hyphenate, genre-bending artist SIIICKBRAIN to get you pumped and ready to start your weekend, the new single released today called “PALO SANTO” via NOWHERE Recordings in partnership with Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG.
The track arrives on the heels of her recent collaboration with Skrillex on his latest EP, Kora. “PALO SANTO” pushes SIIICKBRAIN’s rebellious, hard-charging sound to new heights, propelled by a driving four-on-the-floor kick drum and snappy percussion. Her commanding vocals open with a feral edge as she declares she always gets what she wants, cutting through a throbbing bassline before shifting into a sultry, angelic tone on the chorus. The contrast captures both fearless confidence and underlying vulnerability — a cathartic duality that defines her artistry. Directed by Raphaële, the video matches the track’s raw, magnetic energy, interweaving scenes of a woman pole-dancing outside an abandoned warehouse with SIIICKBRAIN flirtatiously prowling around a pickup truck, alongside flashes of high-heeled dancers in bikinis raving inside a foggy, dimly lit dance floor.
