"Social media has changed the way we consume art and music, often meaning that we rarely see a full music video in the way it was intended to be experienced. For 'Sicko!' we wanted to try something different, leaning into the way people consume art on social platforms."
"We wanted to create something with an artist we love, who's been inspiring to us. woods is such a unique voice in hip hop, his words are so expressive and this track definitely adds a different dimension to the record."
Anglo-French noise-rockers Mandy, Indiana have shared 'Sicko!', a collaboration with Brooklyn rapper billy woods, ahead of an album due Friday on Sacred Bones. The 'Sicko!' video is a montage compiled from short films by various filmmakers riffing on the concept of sickness. The video concept emphasizes how social media has changed the consumption of art and music and that audiences often do not see full music videos as originally intended. The project intentionally leans into social-platform formats. Filmmakers contributed shorts that interpret illness in diverse, experimental ways, creating a fragmented visual narrative that mirrors contemporary online viewing habits. billy woods' expressive, unique voice in hip hop adds a distinct dimension to the track.
