Chicago four-piece Stuck is a torrent of biting guitar riffs and desperate vocals twisted and held together by a precise, curious rhythm section. Their stripped-down and raw approach is evident and effective on their debut album, Change is Bad. We had the pleasure of meeting and talking with them via video chat.
Their latest and apparently last release, Little Curly/boy is a Bird, is a collage of harsh glitchy noises, choral singsong, crying woodwinds, warm synths, unhinged vocals, and commanding programmed drum hits. Held together by seemingly-random motifs and bookended by the ramblings of a strange character known as “Gampy,” this album highlights both Beverly Tender’s songwriting chops and ear for aesthetic.
