S16 E6: Natalie Hoffmann
Episode 6
Thursday, 23 October, 2025
As we were recording this episode, Natalie Hoffmann was a week or so away from releasing a third album with her band Optic Sink called Lucky Number and you’re in for a treat. It’s like a modern day film noir on the rainy, lonely streets - well, the streets were definitely rainy where I grew up – trying to discover who you are. After all these years, I’m still taken aback with how music evokes strong feelings of time and place. It makes me wonder if we are more receptive to songs or parts of songs - whether they be riffs, synth flourishes, percussion or whatever - when we feel particularly connected - with that time or place. I wonder if we are also, y’know, wired to be nostalgic to an extent. I guess we are and our brain is always looking for reference points so it can make its decisions.That line in The Buzzcocks’ Nostalgia:“I guess it’s just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age yet to come”….it brings up such an interesting way to think about nostalgia. Future nostalgia - not the Dua Lipa album - but situations where you are nostalgic now when you know you are going to lose something or someone in the future but r where you will be nostalgic at some stage in the future for what’s happening now.So, the big question is: will I be nostalgic in 20 years time about the music Natalie is creating today – I’d be pretty confident in my answer but check back in 20 years time in a podcast from the future...https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
