Andy & The Optigans 

  Andy Sutphen has fronted punk/Rock bands in NYC and most recently in Savannah, Georgia. He is most well known as the lead singer/songwriter of the synth indie pop band Street Clothes. 

     His first putting as a solo artist under the name Andy & The optigans (Named after an obscure musical instrument that uses plastic vinyl record shaped discs to imitate a variety of genres and instruments) is called Adeline & Other Tragedies.

      Originally Andy & The Optigans (Or just the Optigans) consisted of material that was either not dancey enough or too personal  to be on a Street Clothes record but now there are two full length albums being readied for release -all with very different themes and genres. 

 “The idea behind The Optigans was that it could be a place I could explore all my musical tastes that I love and devote each album to a different sound or even genre. A heartbreak indie album (AAOT), an 80s lofi new wave record (Blue Wave m, 2025), a 1970s punk record, an outlaw country record. (Hint; These aren’t just random examples. Each of these A&O genre albums have been written and will be released over the next few years.)”

      The first being Adeline and Other Tragedies. A indie rock album along the lines of The Velvet Underground, The Silver Jews, Spoon and Nick Cave about heartbreak, starting cults, drugs, dreams and celebrities dying in car crashes. Some of these songs are 20 years old -some are new but they all represent the music that started me making music: Simple, raw, powerful. Three chords and? Three Chords and lyrics so honest it stings. That’s this first A&O record.

“I’m excited to have a new musical outlet to explore all the sounds that have been in my head but haven’t had the right place to go. The Optigans is the right place.” - Andy
