Astrology & Hardcore, two cultural phenomena that are here to stay. Will the two worlds ever meet? Thankfully, Optic Nerve don't try and answer that question. Angel Numbers is a star sign and breakdown free LP.
While I haven't grasped the conceptual depths (that needs time), the immediate spirit of Optic Nerve sits next to the pained and profound, punk-adjacent groups Negative Gears and Straw Man Army, or historically the fringe-of-USHC styling of Spike In Vain and Saccharine Trust, and of course when the anarcho's embraced both noise and pop, i.e. Zounds. Glad to finally hear it after some Obi Strip related delays! - Nic
