Have you ever felt like you were trapped riding shotgun in a car spinning out of control? Stuck know the feeling well. This nightmarish joyride with a malicious stranger at the wheel comes straight from the lyrics of “gg”, the closing track on the Chicago post-punk group’s latest full-length 'Optimizer', their second
release for Exploding in Sound and third album overall. The feeling of being unable to stop a machine hurtling toward danger by its own momentum pervades across the whole record. 'Optimizer' reports live from the front lines of a society on the decline, where every attempt toward self-improvement only locks you into a more efficient downward spiral.
Written directly on the heels of the band’s tour for 2023’s 'Freak Frequency', the album also grapples with the personal costs of devoting your life to music while the music industry crumbles around you. 'Optimizer' continues 'Freak Frequency’s incorporation of synthesizers and also brings along more backing
vocals, bigger choruses, and even blast beats. It is the most high-definition and physically propulsive Stuck record yet.
Stuck have no illusions about solving the problem they’ve diagnosed here in short hand. On the contrary, Optimizer confronts the very idea of trying to solve life head on, drawing implicit connections between ideology and addiction. Every choice demands a sacrifice. The same instinct that drives us to simplify and streamline our lives can leave behind only our darkest and dumbest impulses. If there’s no escaping the ride we’re on, we might as well crank the dial.
