UV-TV Return with the Optimistic Wrench

After a few years away, Brooklyn’s UV-TV have returned to the scene with a fresh collection of songs titled the Optimistic Wrench. They’ve always flirted with nostalgia, particularly by utilizing Rose’s dynamic vocal range, and here, they go even further back to the hey-day of Athens in the early 80s, which loosely ties to the way they came about some of the songs on the new LP; they utilized an Omnichord for build progressions, making them, like the Athens sound, wholly original here. It’s a sound tethered to post-punk in a sense, but moving beyond as they employ their own little percussive touches and jagged lines to bring it into the now. I know a lot of folks are excited for this one! The Optimistic Wrench hits on October 11th via Papercup Music and No Non-Fiction.
