Oneida

It was only a matter of time before Oneida released a conceptual three-album suite. The Williamsburg experimentalists have been bewitching and confounding listeners for well over a decade now, with sturm-und-drang sonics that draw equally from Black Sabbath and your favorite krautrock act. EnterThank Your Parents, Oneida’s hulking beast of a triptych. Preteen Weaponry—part one of the project—consisted of three long journeys into drone and repetition, and part two, 2009's Rated O, is a triple-album unto itself, dedicated to exploring the tension between synthetic and organic that has fascinated Oneida from the beginning.
