Emerging from the depths of art-punk’s experimental realm, Buddy Wynkoop’s latest single Stress Fracture is a blistering reflection on the weight of modern existence. With their trademark fusion of spoken word existentialism and shout-sung melodies, the four-piece outfit delivers a track that doesn’t just challenge the listener, but demands their attention.

Stress Fracture is a cathartic release of pent-up frustration and raw emotion. With a rhythm section that seems to be perpetually on the brink of collapse and jagged, angular guitar lines that feel almost deliberately uncomfortable, the track throws listeners into the maelstrom of its creators’ internal dissonance.
