about
“The Optimistic Wrench,” the latest single from New York stalwarts UV-TV, plants a brazen flag in the indie landscape. The forthcoming track acts as a departure from previous material for the band, leaning headstrong into more experimental production and arrangement, a common thread for the rest of the album of the same name due in October. Eschewing overwrought songwriting in favor of stripped-down, back-to-basics groove, “The Optimistic Wrench” takes elements of 60’s exotica and lounge and fuses them with modern attitude to exciting effect. In all this newfound space, Rose Vastola’s vocals ooze into center stage showcasing her sultry affect. Expect the single on all streaming platforms 8/23 via Papercup Music and No Non-Fiction.
lyrics
Sepia skies
Where the pendulum lies
I see you're still doing nothing with
The time of your life
Turn around start over
Maybe pretend
And there’s one small thing
You’ll probably tell me again
And I know I know
I feel really sick but I just can’t quit
There's a willingness to want and
A nervous tick
Put it in a bottle
I want to forget
You're one tough mountain
Plateau of regret
Persona non grata
The age of lament
Pack it up start over
Let's do it again
And I know
An optimistic wrench
May fix the world in distress but
Nothing’s quite as loud
As a jaguar’s hiss
Where the pendulum lies
I see you're still doing nothing with
The time of your life
Turn around start over
Maybe pretend
And there’s one small thing
You’ll probably tell me again
And I know I know
I feel really sick but I just can’t quit
There's a willingness to want and
A nervous tick
Put it in a bottle
I want to forget
You're one tough mountain
Plateau of regret
Persona non grata
The age of lament
Pack it up start over
Let's do it again
And I know
An optimistic wrench
May fix the world in distress but
Nothing’s quite as loud
As a jaguar’s hiss

Joyous scary sunny vertigo; guitar, synths, male/female vocals. Listening lifts me up. I hear a pinch of shoegazing a la Medicine, Swirlies, but also other sounds - Stereolab, Octopus Project. I danced to several songs.
