It’s Friday the 13th and Health has just dropped a sickly 90s-inspired music video for “Sicko”, featuring samples from Godflesh’s “Like Rats”.
Directed by Mynxii White, the video looks like a VHS compilation of horrors captured across several 90s horror movies.
“Sicko” comes off Health’s forthcoming new album Rat Wars, which will be released December 7th, 2023, via Loma Vista Recordings.
“Taking inspiration from the haunting imagery from 90’s music videos by Godflesh, we put together a video collage of some of our own favorite obscure horror moments of the same time period in one “sick” video for ‘Sicko.’ ” said White.
“Some of my best memories are from the stranger indie movies I’d watch in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping, and it was a lot of fun going back in time to pull moments like a ‘greatest hits’ of all those dark hours of bloody horror.

A row between two German producers has intensified this week over their respective remixes of “Jerk” by California artist Oliver Tree.
According to the Official UK Singles Chart released on Friday 21 October, “Miss You” by Southstar is at number 23, while “Miss You” by Robin Schulz and Oliver Tree is at number nine.
“Jerk” by Oliver Tree, from his album Ugly is Beautiful, was released in 2020 and currently has more than 45 million streams on Spotify.
Both remixes of the track use the same vocal sample, while a number of fans online have commented on the perceived similarities in production style.
Southstar, real name Leon Kirschnek, has accused Schulz of releasing an “exact copy” of his “Miss You” remix, which he originally released on 9 May 2022.

Lil Yachty ensnares a burglar in the new video for “Asshole.” The song appears on the rapper’s deluxe version of Lil Boat 3, entitled Lil Boat 3.5.
Oliver Tree portrays the burglar, leads the hook, and directed the playful visual. It opens on him breaking into Lil Yachty’s mansion to try and abscond with the rapper’s chains. However, Lil Yachty, with assistance from two gun-wielding female sidekicks, thwarts the sneaky thief’s plans.
Though the apparent asshole in the wacky video is the thief, the melodic song’s lyrics address a relationship gone awry.

Not long after Oliver Tree released the video for “All That x Alien Boy” — in which the bowl-cutted singer gets bowled over by a minivan, staggers to his feet bloody but unbowed, finds his way to a monster truck, and uses it to wreak vengeance on his attacker — Jeff Levin watched the clip nearly ruin a relationship.

But that is just one way that TikTok has inserted itself into music industry conversations since the Chinese company ByteDance took over the old lip-syncing app, Musical.ly, and relaunched it as TikTok in the U.S. in August. The app has resurrected some old, dead-in-the-water songs so...
