Format:
CD
Price:

Catalog #:
JAG 060CD
"Oneida's
Secret Wars
is a Pacific summer jam. It's got Balinese gongs, Hawaiian ukuleles, red wine, injuries, glee, and a song called 'Wild Horses' that's written by Oneida. It's also got a lot of good advice. With their new full-length record, Brooklyn sons Oneida simply start where they left off with
Each One Teach One
. Their trademark iterated and psych-tinged noise attack is still fully intact, both nervous and subdued at the same time -- like what happens when you give meditative children trained in the ways of yoga an excessive amount of caffeine. If there are any new wrinkles to be discovered, it is perhaps that, even more so than on
Each One Teach One
(Oneida's
Tago Mago
), Oneida seem to be mining the same fertile ground as Kraut-rock visionaries Can, effortlessly shedding the constraints of pop forms and structures while still remaining soulful and spiritually centered all along. Like spazzing out in the Lotus position."

Price:

Catalog #:
JAG 100CD
"No band has been so praised for such a wide range of music over the last ten years than Brooklyn's Oneida. Nobody has come close to matching their output of dazzlingly creative, uncategorizable music. Psychedelia, minimalism, maximalism, one-step, infinitewave, blah blah blah blah -- it's all there, all the time; and
Happy New Year
, the band's ten billionth album, is Oneida's zenith. Simultaneously the most eclectic and most coherent album they have yet released,
Happy New Year
flows flawlessly from a traditional hymn of grim beauty ('Distress') through hypnotic rounds, thunderous kraut grooves, severe ballads, and other, indescribable music. Phil Manley of Trans AM and the Fucking Champs and experimental pianist Emily Manzo return for encores of their guest appearances on 2005's
The Wedding

"
Preteen Weaponry
is part one of the
Thank Your Parents
triptych of Oneida releases. Oneida members past, present and future all contributed to this project. It reminds Oneida of what a live performance might sound like. It contains captured improvisational moments married with craft. You can consider it an introduction to their forthcoming triple album
Rated O
, which is part two of the forementioned triptych."

Rated O
Label:

Format:
3CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
JAG 145CD
"Oneida has delivered a monster named
Rated O
which happens to be the crowning achievement of their storied creative lives. By producing this colossus they have also created the necessity of its destruction -- which within the confines of this tremendous accomplishment -- they do so handily and with utter fluency. Perhaps
Rated O
represents the encyclopedic representation of Oneida Music, Oneida Creativity and Oneida Insatiability. As the leviathan rises from the murky depths to endow the idle watch with illusion, disillusionment and mortal terror -- thus Oneida leaves a hieroglyphic spume upon the glassy surface of what is known and unknown. The music contained within the covers of
Rated O
must be seen as a gifted wilderness that when traversed will grant the traveler both a fractured mirror and a demolished and worried pathway deeper into the abyss. This album is an attempt to contain the entirety of Oneida and thus it points the way to infinite rebirth and boundless creativity. It is a finite map and the suggestion of unknown worlds. We finally have in our hands the album that Oneida has often gestured towards. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the greatest triple albums ever recorded."

Title:
Caesar's Column (remixes)
Label:
ROUGH TRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$7.00
Catalog #:
RT 139LP
"Oneida are a fascinating and frighteningly intense band, mixing distorted electronics with a fluent, dynamic rhythm section. They were formed in 1997 in Brooklyn, New York, and have been a mainstay of the underground scene there ever since, recording numerous cult records over the years, constantly touring America and Europe with their various line ups. The band like to be compared to ESG, Moondog and The Incredible String band, but have actually been compared to Faust, Pere Ubu, the Boredoms, the Butthole Surfers. This 12" remix album on Rough Trade includes the original album version (from Secret Wars) and four remixes by their NYC underground compadres, including hip NYC producer Nicolas Vernhes (of Fischerspooner, Black Dice, Fiery Furnaces fame), Phil Manley (of Trans Am) and The Liars (Mute Records)."
