OPTIC SINK- S/T LP/ Goner Records New Stuff


Info

Optic Sink’s Natalie Hoffmann (NOTS) creates a musical paradox: an endeavor that doesn’t seem to belong to any particular time or place. She constructs with sounds that are synthesized and stripped down, yet bristling with urgency and brutalist emotion. With percussionist Ben Bauermeister (Magic Kids, Toxie, A55 Conducta) by her side, the two set up camp on the post-punk side of the minimal electronic scene.

Their debut, S/T album comes out October 2 on Goner following its lead single and video “Personified”. The track features a Trumptopian critique delivered over instrumentation that sounds like a new wave chase theme. “Personified is a chaotic reflection on the far-reaching shadows of the dystopia we're living in. The contrasting textures in the song underline the tension between human and machine, and where that line is blurred,” Hoffmann describes.
