Lucky Number, the third album from Memphis trio Optic Sink, finds the band both refining and expanding their hypnotic mix of post-punk and dance music, resulting in a sharp and moving exploration of surfaces, shadows, and self-delusion.

Natalie Hoffmann (NOTS) has come into her full power as a lyricist. Her work on earlier records (see “Modelesque” and “Glass Blocks”) shows her talent for exploring the hidden shallows of modern life, but here the funhouse mirrors are balanced by painful longing and drops of truth
that leak through the cracks. The music reflects this—under Bauermeister’s driving grooves and the songs’ tight arrangements lurk hidden complexities, thanks in part to Keith Cooper’s exceptional, angular work on guitar and bass.

“Unreachable / untouchable space / glass tower / a fragile face / when you’re here / where do you go?” Hoffmann sings over the sinister, nocturnal funk of “Construction.” Few bands can match the hard beauty of Depeche Mode, New Order, and A Certain Ratio—Optic Sink
manages to do more than that, adding their own sad, cutting wisdom.

Produced and recorded by Caufield Schnug of Sweeping Promises, Lucky Number is out Fall 2025 on Feel It Records.

Memphis synth punk without the trash-stomp garage-rock abandonment many have come to associate with that Tennessee town, Optic Sink cold and calculated as an Akron robot typing messages on an electric teletype, cracking a Moroder power-line like a Morricone bullwhip, but still analog warm and organic as skin on a knuckle, a brass-knuckle sandwich electricity into your ear, twisting up the knob on the space heater to warm up the vacuum tubes and cold space suits hanging in the back of the garage, Natalie Hoffmann (Nots) vocals, guitars, art w/  Ben Bauermeister (Magic Kids) drums, and Keith Cooper (Jack Oblivian and the Sheiks, I assume), bass.  Loads of synth electricity filling the sounds, like icicles on slate rooftops, strong and fragile, sharp and melting, dripping mineral water on fluorescent lamps and power circuits, Hoffman's guitar and Cooper's bass helping pulsate the rhythms into your ears, exotica percussion and electro funk mixed with bits of early mid-60s secret agent elbowing its way into the sound, shards of spaceage rock piercing into the skin, all the sounds wound up tight and the band working together wonderfully, twisting rhythms into your eardrums like wires wrapping around glass power pole insulators ... surrender and let Optic Sink knot their rhythms around your ankles and up and down your Frankenstein spine, let go of the railing and bop your noggin like the heads of the Peanuts dancing away the holidays...become a puppet riding on the pulse and electricity of Optic Sink. -- winch


Expanding on the magnetic, minimalist post-punk frontier first chartered on their  Goner debut, Optic Sink return with their second album, 'Glass Blocks'. Hot on the heels of their recent EP on Spacecase Records, the Memphis trio of Natalie Hoffmann, Ben Bauermeister, and Keith Cooper ventured out to Lawrence, Kansas to record at the home studio of Caufield Schnug (Sweeping Promises). The resulting seven originals and a rendition of LiLiPUT's "A Silver Key Can Open An Iron Lock, Somewhere" define Optic Sink and their remarkable style with a clarity and power seldom realized in a studio setting. Hoffmann and Bauermeister command the high end of the mix with a gamut of perfectly dialed synth and percussive tones while Cooper's bass serves as rhythmic anchor. There's far more to dive into, whether it's the cold, driving beat of "Modelesque" or the minimal, percussive brilliance heard on "Glass Blocks". Perhaps the best part of the formula is the sheer amount of natural energy that gleams through the mix. Like a warm refraction of musical chemistry and originality, Optic Sink have struck gold with 'Glass Blocks'.




Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Caufield Schnug in Lawrence, KS

A Silver Key Can Open An Iron Lock, Somewhere originally written and performed by LiLiPUT

Soft, Comfortable, and Built to Last!
Size: X-Large, Color: White - 5 Pack
These Hanes T-shirts are a staple in my son’s wardrobe. The fabric is super soft and breathable, perfect for all-day wear. They hold up well in the wash—no shrinking, fading, or stretching after multiple washes. The fit is true to size, giving him enough room to move freely while staying comfortable. I also love the simple, classic design—it’s easy to pair with anything, from jeans to shorts. Great quality at a fantastic price. Definitely worth buying in bulk!

Runs small, great quality
Size: X-Small, Color: White 2-pack
Quality is great but the sizing isn’t what I though. My 3.5 year old (he’s typical size, skinny, not short but not the tallest kid) is in between a 3 and 4T. I bought the XXS and XS. Both were too small! The shirt also seemed like maybe a girls cut, the sleeves were short and it seemed to have a bit of a curve on the sides like some girls clothes do. I still gave 5 stars because they are really nice shirts for the money.

Favorite White Tee
Size: Medium, Color: White 4-pack
Love these simple white tees. They don't shrink and are adequately sized. They wash well. My 6 year old loves them too. Light and comfortable. They can be dressed with jeans, shorts, work as an undershirt or pajama shirt. Favorite white tees for any outfit. Excellent priced. Great shirts overall.
