OPTIC SINK NEW SINGLE
OPTIC SINK – Don’t look Down Video
From Dan Hornsby of True Green / author of Sucker and Via Negativa:
“Don’t Look Down”—the latest single from Memphis trio Optic Sink—is a dark, magnetic exploration of alienation and hope. “you found a hand to hold / don’t look down,” singer and lyricist Natalie Hoffmann (NOTS) declares over Keith Cooper’s punchy, Pylonesque bass lines and Ben Baumeister’s subtle breakbeat. “there’s a chain link fence to break your fall / don’t look down.”
Hoffmann wrote the foundation for the song while stuck in a Nashville hotel room earlier this year. Hoffmann: “I was there working on a TV show and ended up snowed in at a Candlewood Suites by the highway that overlooked the train tracks. To get out of the hotel room, I would go down to the parking lot and watch the trains that went by in the snow. I became sort of obsessed with them. I thought there was something both beautiful and eerie about their movement and sounds.”
The song was produced and recorded by Caufield Schnug of Sweeping Promises over the course of a single session in their studio in Lawrence, KS, and Sweeping Promises bandmate/partner Lira Mondal makes a striking cameo with haunting stacked harmonies. Album Lucky Number is out Fall 2025 on Feel It Records (US).
