Optic Sink Lucky Number LP
Tennessee’s OPTIC SINK delivers eight synth-driven post-punk tracks with their LP Lucky Number. While thoughtfully layered drum machine beats and bass lines akin to Peter Hook’s melodic style form a strong foundation for the album, analog and unpolished synth tracks provide a nice, gritty top layer for Natalie Hoffmann of NOTS to sing over. Though not as front and center, guitars help strengthen the melodic content significantly. All in all, it’s a nice album to sway along and wander off.
