Presented with Intro and "Slitterhead" Music Video by our very own Jaden Stone aka 5:40 fantasy

Slitterhead is about that summer in your youth when you start getting into more “grown-up” things; when drug-use, street violence, police presence, and unfamiliar social circles begin seeping into your life, and that initial rush of excitement quickly gives way to a sense of paranoia. In particular, the song taps into the fears and anxieties of being a young man of colour, and the need to withdraw from those fears into art and media. Even if that media is scary. Because in a way, a piece of art that reaffirms how the world is a scary place can be quite comforting.

"This is where the influence of I Saw the TV Glow is felt. Because while real-life horror and anxiety envelops your life, sometimes the most sane thing to do is play Silent Hill 2. Or wait for the developer of Silent Hill 2's new game, Slitterhead... or indeed, watch I Saw the TV Glow."

The London-based project of Jaden Stone fuses visceral industrial hip-hop with eerie ambient electronica; inspired by dream states, sleeping disorders, and the subconscious, 5:40 fantasy draws as much from works of psychological horror as it does from Stone's musical influences, including Nine Inch Nails, Yeule, and JPEGMafia.
