Today the Montreal-based band PRIORS dropped the track called Optimizer.
The second single is taken from their upcoming fourth album of the same name which comes out on June 2, 2023 via Mothland.
A retro dirty lo-fi post-punk rocking vibe tune.
About the track by Chance:
Elegantly destroying common tropes of the genre, the piece is somewhat of a mise-en-abîme.
Is it a literal heart-wrenching cry for help?
A sardonic take on peer pressure and confusion?
A critic of a never-dying and wistful fad? Either way, there is no stopping this chorus-drenched worm from entering your ear.
“Optimizer” is a direct stab at post-punk because I wasn’t really impressed with a lot of the stuff I was hearing.
We always dipped our toes in post-punk, but I felt it was necessary to dive in on this one.
I hadn’t written a song around a bass line since “Brew HA HA” from the last record (My Punishment On Earth) and once I had the groove, it was really easy to see where it should go.
