“Stuck Pig” is a consuming, creative track from Einsam, finding inspiration from “Bristol’s trip-hop heritage.” The various backing effects and overall rhythmic drive tout an alluring trip-hop vibe, while the piano additions and vocal performance maintain an accessible melding of rock and pop. Shimmering keys around 01:40 – “what am I getting myself into,” – consume, showing a refreshing structural twist. The captivating vocal lead and icy keys tout a heady sound that strongly intrigues overall. A piano-driven twist approaching 02:30 invigorates as well, riding to a lovely conclusion with bassy reverberations and icy keys on full display. “Stuck Pig” stands out in both its creative stylistic integrations and interesting soundscape.
