You like noise? There’s plenty of it packed into the two-minute single from HEALTH and JPEGMAFIA—well, at least in the last thirty seconds. After a string of one-off tracks with Soccer Mommy, Youth Code, and Perturbator in 2018, the LA noise rock band’s JPEG collab is the team-up that kinda makes the most sense if you’ve experienced the Angelino emigrant emcee’s abrasive back catalog, live shows, dark web aesthetic, or even just his name-dropping of Throbbing Gristle in interviews.

“HATE YOU” found its way onto the Internet last night, and you can hear it below over an ambiguously tongue-in-cheek anti-pirating PSA.
