Three tales of Northside Festival 2013 in Brooklyn, NY , by Dale Eisinger, Jeremy D. Larson, and Zach Schoenfield, ~ It was late on Saturday and I was exhausted, having run from Williamsburg to Greenpoint and back and all I really wanted was to use a bathroom and then hit the sack. On my walk home, I decided I could duck into the venue Public Assembly to relieve myself—a Northside badge should at least guarantee that, right? But all plans were derailed when, at like two in the morning, as I was [...]
Brooklyn-based legends Oneida have announced a string of European dates in support of their newest album A List of the Burning Mountains , which was released last year on Jagjaguwar. The gigs include a date in London at Corsica Studios on March 15th. The band have also revealed a live video of their 15th Anniversary show, which was recorded at Brooklyn’s Secret Project Robot back in December. You can watch a clip below: Oneida UK/EU Live Dates: March 15 - London, UK - [...]

You'd be forgiven for turning your back on Brooklynites Oneida following the conclusion to their Thank Your Parents triptych of records, 2011's challenging Absolute II . Ditching the experimental rock grooves of the previous two albums Preteen Weaponry and the brilliant double album Rated O , the band went for a minimalist approach that mixed Suicide and Philip Glass and replaced guitar noise and drums with primitive organ drones. Eleven albums in, it seemed like Oneida didn't really care what critics, fans or detractors thought of their latest offering - take it [...]
from Wayne's Twitter McSweeney's has commissioned fantasy writer Richard Parks to create an hour-long radio special starring Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips , which will be aired on Saturday and Sunday at 5 p.m. Pacific time on KCRW (or streaming at KCRW.com for those not in LA). It's an old-time radio special in the War of the Worlds tradition, and the main conflict has to do with a human-head-sized tumor growing out of Wayne Coyne's leg [...]
The success of A List Of The Burning Mountains - the first Oneida record following their 200+ minute musical triptych called Thank Your Parents that spanned three years and three albums - rests squarely on the sticks of drummer Kid Millions. For their 13th LP, Kid Millions functions as the de facto leader of band, who are somewhat of an institution in the experimental/avant/noise/out scene Brooklyn performance spaces. This is a band whose versatility and evolution transcends simply being coined as "progressive" or "genre-defying". Oneida are unto themselves a singular musical organism, peerless, and pushing only against themselves [...]
Photo courtesy of Jessica Luther While known primarily as a humorous and progressive publishing house (and the force out Beck's Song Reader ), McSweeney's recently commissioned writer Richard Parks to create a one-hour radio special starring Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips . As McSweeney's tells it , Parks vanished for a few months, no doubt held up in his writing cave, and emerged with a most bizarre and shimmery gem. "Wayne Coyne’s Human Head-Shaped Tumor" is a "continuous-play radio [...]
Si hay un disco que estoy esperando para cerrar el año, ese es el de Oneida . Los suyos son trabajos que funcionan como pièce de résistance en un mundo en el que cualquier petardo puede jactarse ya de hacer discos de "kraut-rock" o "neosicodelia" completamente pusilánimes. Regresando a Oneida , el disco se llama A List of the Burning Mountains . Y aquí están sus dos caras de drogadelia épica -corrosiva, grasienta, llena de drones y síncopas- con las que de alguna manera la banda conmemora sus quince años de existencia. [...]
This week is a bit out of control for new releases. I tried my hardest to narrow them down, but there are just too many great new records to fit into one post, so I'm splitting it into two . I'll give you five records each day (and a couple of bonus picks). The second part will go up tomorrow (so if you don't see your favorite new album on here don't leave me hate comments; yet). _ From [...]
Yesterday, to celebrate the release of Oneida's A List of the Burning Mountains , Noisey premiered incredible films for both sides of the album! A number of artists created visual scores to sections of the album with the intention of creating a seamless whole that can flow with the whole record. Films for Side 1 and Side 2 encompass all audio from A List of the Burning Mountains LP and are presented by Noisey. Directors for the sections include SR Palm, robotdeathcult, Matt Marlin, Brock Monroe, Mike Bonello, Barry London, Tony Balko, Andrew Deutsch [...]
The image this week doesn't give any hints to our featured artist this week, as he isn't a girl, you won't hear him singing in the track below and really there aren't too many pictures out there to capture this producer. Stumbleine 's contribution comes in the form of shoe-gaze backdrops and we're more than happy to see Spiderwebbed arrive, especially because of the track below featuring Steffaloo. Apart from the chill tracks from Stumbleine, Black Forest Fire resembles Fleetwood Mac a bit in with Transit of Venus . The trio from [...]

[Photos by acidjack] Our friends in Oneida were a late but welcome addition to the "Megafaun and Friends" day show at Hopscotch Music Festival , and as usual, nobody knew what to expect in terms of the setlist. Joined by a number of special guests throughout the set (including the ubiquitous man-of-the-festival, the drummer Chris Corsano), Oneida filled the streets of downtown Raleigh, NC with their complex improvisational post-rock. This three-part sequence was, as usual, an experimental journey in guitars and organs, anchored by the incomparable drumming of Kid Millions. As we eagerly await [...]
With a relative minimum of fanfare, resurgent post-rock overlords Godspeed You! Black Emperor have snuck out an album this week — ' Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! is their fourth studio album and their first since 20022s Yanqui U.X.O . We've always been big fans of the band, and we've jumped at every opportunity to see them live since they got back together in 2010 — their epic shows are the stuff of legend, frequently stretching past two hours and always very, very loud. But we do appreciate that their shows aren't for everyone, and that even if [...]
Black Dice at MoMA PS1 in 2011 ( more by Erez Avissar ) Brooklyn experimental bands Black Dice and Oneida will celebrate their respective 15th anniversaries with a show at Secret Project on December 1 . No advance tickets for this show at the moment. Black Dice released their most recent album, Mr. Impossible , earlier this year via Ribbon Music. They're over in Europe now [...]
Brooklyn psych/noise band Oneida are set to release a new album, A List of the Burning Mountains, on November 13th. Consisting of just two tracks, the album is an overdose of Oneida’s legendary improvisatory songwriting. Preview the album’s title track after the jump. Oneida A List of the [...]
Slap-bracelet koozie // Photo by Jeremy D. Larson There's some vestiges of Magellan that still run through our blood, but the pioneering spirit in music has a habit of leading to dead ends, or sending us around in circles, or retreating toward the safety of civilization. Loathe as I am to say, there is a large circle of people who will never read this - people who don't possess that need for discovery at all, and who see music as a passive or incidental thing in their life like the hum of cicada or the refrigerator kicking in at intervals. I [...]
C'est à l'automne que les feuilles et les bons disques tombent, la preuve en est avec Oneida qui annonce la sortie pour le 13 novembre de leur nouvel album "A List of the Burning Mountains". On avait quitté l'exigeant groupe de Brooklyn en 2011 avec le dernier disque de la trilogie "Thank you Parents" (Preteen Weapony en 2008, le triple Rated O en 2009 et enfin Absolute II en 2011), il annonce son retour en fanfare ou plutôt en mix, avec un extrait à écouter, histoire de se mettre l'eau à la bouche. L'album enregistré à l'Ocropolis, le studio du [...]
Brooklyn psych-noise outfit Oneida will follow-up last year's Absolute II with A List of the Burning Mountains on November 13th via Jagjaguwar. The band's 12th LP in some 15 years, it's described as "less a traditional album than a tiny sip from an endlessly roiling sea," with its "drunken-master drumming, howling guitar and scouring drones, (serving as) a concentrated blast from a wholly unique band known for 12-hour live, improvised performances." As an early sample to the forthcoming noise onslaught, the band has released a three-minute preview that's available for streaming below. [...]
