The gym can be scary. It can be menacing. On “Deadlift,” the latest single Chicago post-punk group Stuck, you can hear it in the visceral drum bangs and loose bass shifts. I hear the weights dropping in annoyance and relief. The tension in the air is thick with aggravation and endorphins. I hear the time pass at a frustrating pace. People in this place have an agreed understanding that it’s a necessary evil — something that doesn’t feel good until we’re halfway to the result. It’s all about build and anticipation, and that’s the triumph of “Deadlift.” It feels good even though it’s intimidating: "Headphones in/ Eyes locked on my figure a room full of men/ Ignoring each other." That’s some spooky mundanity! But Stuck know how to keep us wanting to come back, rep after rep.
