Optic Nerve – On! (Black Vinyl)

(Repress on black vinyl. ‘On!’ is the lost, previously unreleased album by legendary NY garage-pop, folk-rockers The Optic Nerve. Produced by Dave Amels and recorded in 2005 but possessing the same magical, timeless sound and spirit of their classic ’80s recordings, full of jangly guitars and innocent vocal harmonies. Here, main songwriters Bobby Belfiore and Tony Matura combine their main influences (Byrds, Velvet Underground, Monkees…) with a good dose of ’60s pop-psych and sunshine pop. RIYL: Byrds, Monkees, Lovin’ Spoonful, Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub… Includes insert with liner notes and photos and a download card.
