STUCK
“Instakill”
Stuck just keep getting better. Three years after the release of Freak Frequency, the Chicago based trio are set to release their third album, Optimizer, a record that absolutely pulls the rug out from under the listener, evolving Stuck’s sound in a major way that somehow feels both profound and entirely natural. The band’s signature blend of post-punk, noise rock, and art punk brilliance still feels unique, but Optimizer arrives with a focus on colossal melodies that sit side by side with their contorted chaos and primal sense of modern anxiety. “Instakill,” the album’s first single, is a frantic introduction, erupting with echoing drum patterns and guitars that ping pong around in your head. The song deals with the pitfalls of turning to the internet in times of need only to be sucked in by “huckster gurus,” a concept that Greg Obis’ pointed lyrics bring to vivid life (as does the exceptional Zack Shorrosh directed music video). There’s dread, there’s terror, there’s a sense of humor, and there’s the veiled reminder that you don’t need the products being sold to you.
