SIIICKBRAIN has officially announced her highly anticipated sophomore album, HOUNDSTOOTH, set to release on June 3, 2026, via NOWHERE Recordings in collaboration with Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG. This announcement comes alongside the release of her new single and music video for “MURKY WATER”, which is now available for streaming.
The single “MURKY WATER” showcases SIIICKBRAIN’s evolving sound, combining hypnotic synth arpeggios with a trap-influenced breakdown. The lyrics delve into themes of self-awareness and the balance between fragility and ego, highlighting her unique perspective as she navigates the complexities of success and vulnerability.
In a statement about the album, SIIICKBRAIN expressed, “HOUNDSTOOTH finally feels like I have found the sound I’ve been searching for since I started making music. The honest and personal lyrics on certain tracks along with the through line of who I am and where I come from truly just feels like the album is the best representation of myself that I could’ve made.” This sentiment reflects her journey as an artist and her commitment to authenticity in her music.
The accompanying music video for “MURKY WATER”, directed by Afanasii Chavdaridi, captures the bold and unapologetic ethos of SIIICKBRAIN’s artistic vision. The video opens in a striking black-and-white scene at a cattle auction, where SIIICKBRAIN walks among models before being crowned the top choice. The visuals shift dramatically as she emerges from a luxury sports car, surrounded by paparazzi, and breaks into choreography in the rain, embodying the song’s energetic spirit.
Fans can also explore her previous single “PALO SANTO”, which has already made waves in the music scene, further solidifying SIIICKBRAIN’s status as a genre-bending artist. With her fearless approach to blending experimental pop, alternative, hip-hop, and electronic influences, she continues to captivate audiences and critics alike.
