If you can listen to the undulating synths and addictive beats of OPTIC SINK without dancing then you must be a mannequin. Because I can’t stop moving as I watch their new video for “Modelesque”! It’s a beautiful mix of lo-fi punk vocals and synth-laden post-punk sounds that have me dancing by myself. The video has me thinking about how we’re living with the ever-present watchful eye of the camera, ours or someone else’s. At any moment, someone could be watching us and capturing our image without us even being conscious of it, breeding a kind of vigilant hyper-awareness of our need to be camera-ready at all times. “Modelesque” is off their upcoming record Glass Blocks that’s coming out via Feel it Records on September 8th — pre-order it here. Today I’m going to share OPTIC SINK’s video for “Modelesque” with you and I want you to dance like no one’s watching!
