"Sinking" By Wotts

Wotts’ latest single, Sinking, released on November 28, 2024, is a dynamic culmination of their adventurous sonic journey this year. The Ottawa-based indie pop duo once again showcases their ability to balance retro influences with modern production, crafting a track that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Inspired by The Killers' Sam's Town era and MGMT's cutting-edge experimentation, Sinking aims for an ambitious mix of maximalism. Acoustic guitar layers Violin Orchestra and thundering drums dominate the soundscape. Creating a grand yet unexpectedly natural atmosphere with the beginning of the sound, Jayem's voice effortlessly glides across this complex backdrop. Giving a performance that feels intimate and melodious

The band's signature unpredictability is reflected here as they dive into country textures without losing their indie-pop identity. Ricky 100's guitar work and bassline add a distinctive flavor that complements the experimental track's core. Production went smoothly almost like a movie. It speaks to Watts's restless creative spirit.

"Sinking" completely flips the script. It reinforces the couple's determination to push the limits. It's a testament to evolution and a refusal to stick to one path. For fans of music that combines genres with emotional depth. Sync is an exciting listen and the perfect way for Watts to end the year.

Looking ahead to 2025, it is clear that Votes will continue to surprise and innovate. It promises a bold new direction for the ever-expanding sound.
