Mike Meegan has been releasing restless, genre-bending electronic music as RXM Reality since 2015. He's now gearing up to release sick for you, his ninth record — and his fourth with Chicago label Hausu Mountain — on March 25, a day after the seventh anniversary of his debut RXM project, Reality Bytes. Today, he's shared the forthcoming album's third single, "life is shit," along with a chaotic, stop-motion video directed by Izzy True.
The new song finds Meegan in an agitated state similar to the ones he occupied on previous singles "thank you" and "sick for a beauty i remember," purging his demons through death-metal barks and screeches underscored by glitchy, percussive, harsh-noise static. Watch the video, which contains a warning for those with sensitivity to flashing lights, below.
