Wotts is diving into nostalgia with their first-ever remix, giving their 2024 single "Sinking" a fresh and dreamy makeover. Based in Ottawa, Wotts is known for their creativity, and with their latest release, "Sinking II," they're taking a different approach to their own music. This new version transforms last year's song "Sinking," swapping its jangly guitars for vibrant synth sounds, deep bass, and an ethereal vibe. Imagine Tame Impala wandering into a colorful dream with a sprinkle of Gorillaz's unique style.
Ricky 100, the bassist and guitarist for Wotts, explained that the idea for the remix wasn't planned. "When we first created "Sinking," we didn't intend to revisit it," he said. "But over Christmas, we felt inspired to try a new direction. It just felt right." This spontaneous decision has genuinely paid off.
While the original song featured bright guitars and warm acoustic sounds, "Sinking II" leans into a more nostalgic feel with rich synths, captivating beats, and an atmosphere that deepens "Sinking II" emotional impact. It's moodier and more reflective, creating a feeling similar to drifting through a vivid dream.
Wotts has a talent for crafting catchy melodies, and "Sinking II" highlights their ability to grow and surprise listeners with fresh sounds. Whether you've been following their journey for a while or are just discovering their music, "Sinking II" shows that sometimes, revisiting a song can lead to something even more captivating.
