Reeling with financial stress and a deep sense of precarity with my career, I was desperate for answers. This led me down a deep hole of online self-help huckster gurus. Charitably, I think that many of these people mean well and a few genuinely have good advice. But even the best of them are trying to prey on your insecurities and circumstances in order to sell you a course or a health supplement, which I think is both dark and funny. &#8220;Instakill&#8221; uses these huckster gurus to explore the futility of constant self-optimization. Is it possible to change who you are?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"\/><p><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Optimizer<\/em> was recorded with engineer and producer Andrew Oswald at Electrical Audio. &#8220;Instakill&#8221; is paired with a Zack Shorrosh-directed music video that practically turns the song into a short film; watch below.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stuck - &quot;Instakill&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XRKABH2QNls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>TRACKLIST:<br \/>01 &#8220;Totally Vexed&#8221;<br \/>02 &#8220;Instakill&#8221;<br \/>03 &#8220;Sicko&#8221;<br \/>04 &#8220;Deadlift&#8221;<br \/>05 &#8220;Less Is More&#8221;<br \/>06 &#8220;Fire, Man&#8221;<br \/>07 &#8220;Net Negative&#8221;<br \/>08 &#8220;It Isn&#8217;t&#8221;<br \/>09 &#8220;Punchline&#8221;<br \/>10 &#8220;GG&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TOUR DATES:<br \/>04\/03 \u2013 Detroit, MI @ Outer Limits<br \/>04\/04 \u2013 Toronto, ON @ The Garrison<br \/>04\/05 \u2013 Montreal, QC @ L&#8217;Esco<br \/>04\/07 \u2013 Kingston, NY @ Tubby&#8217;s<br \/>04\/08 \u2013 Brooklyn, NY @ Baby&#8217;s All Right<br \/>04\/09 \u2013 Boston, MA @ Deep Cuts<br \/>04\/11 \u2013 Philadelphia, PA @ Warehouse on Watts &#8211; Cambridge Hall<br \/>04\/12 \u2013 Washington, DC @ Comet Ping Pong<\/p>\n<p><em>Optimizer<\/em> is out 3\/27 via Exploding In Sound.
