Synopsis

Product Description

Entire recorded output by New York City's amazing Garage band from the 80's and still active today. All songs here are gorgeous originals, with a folk/rock sound that shimmers and sparkles. The songwriting is excellent across the board; with comparisons to Gene Clark, Emitt Rhodes and Michael Brown being easy to see. Certain songs jump out at the listener: ?Like To Get To Know Her? with its breathtaking Byrds/Searchers-like harmonies, ?Take Me? with the clever psychish opening, and ?I See The Truth? with its hooks and guitar lines.

CD Reviews

These Guys Are First Rate

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Underrated, highly creative, exciting, and great hooks - sums up my impression of the (to me) obscure band Optic Nerve. Please give them a try."
