about

OPTO S recorded two concerts in early 2020 on an H2 Zoom. Then Covid killed concerts and with the band’s approval, ESP-Disk’ compiled an LP’s worth of material from those concert recordings for the group’s first full-length release.

PRESS:
"Though primarily associated with jazz, ESP Disk also has a rich history within the rock idiom, releasing great records by The Fugs, The Godz, Jayne County and Charles Manson. For the first time in several years, the label returns to that tradition with this powerful debut full-length from Brooklyn’s Opto S, which fits perfectly within the ESP paradigm. Comprised of bassist Argelis Liriano, drummer Diana K. and synth/guitarist Charles Dodson the trio conjure a blend of no wave, especially the keyboards of early DNA and heavy bass of Mars, with the post-punk darkwave of Clan of Xymox, as well as electronic duos like Silver Apples, Wume and Suicide. When saxophonist Ben Jaffe joins them for a couple numbers during these live sets, you can even detect a bit of Contortions!" -- Chuck Foster in The Big Takeover
