March 2024 Oneida and Mike Watt released a collaborative single lathe-cut “Tusko” which sold out immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOneida is known for extended live performances, collaborating onstage with Mike Watt, members of Flaming Lips, Portishead, Boredoms, Yo La Tengo, Dead C, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and many others. Band is famous for pioneering the “NY\/Brooklyn loft scene” alongside bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lightning Bolt, Japanther, Black Dice, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA song is a song until it isn’t, until it’s pushed to its limits and beyond to become harder, faster and more dissonant. The music on Oneida’s 17th full-length album, \u003ci\u003eExpensive Air\u003c\/i\u003e, all started as tightly structured, melodic rock songs very much in line with the non-stop bangers of \u003ci\u003eSuccess\u003c\/i\u003e from 2022 but along the way, they changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBobby Matador sketched the structures of these songs from his home base in Boston, then sent the demos to Oneida’s New York contingent: Kid Millions, Hanoi Jane, Shahin Motia and Barry London. “We were working out the songs in New York without Bobby. We would start out riding the riffs, and then Shahin and Jane would add wild, out-of-tune licks,” said Kid Millions. “It seemed so perfect.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOneida has long straddled gray-area boundaries between the NYC punk\/psych\/rock world and the art \/ experimental world, playing at gritty rock clubs and elevated cultural institutions. Oneida’s previous album, Success, came after a four-year hiatus, unleashing the band’s pent up creative energy in a set of catchy, accessible, nearly poppy songs. Song structure remained important in the run up towards Expensive Air, but so was the instinctual, improvisatory interplay that has always been a part of Oneida’s process. The band had been playing live together for two years, sharpening its attack and pushing its songs to go harder, faster and wilder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new album expands on what Oneida achieved with \u003ci\u003eSuccess\u003c\/i\u003e, but also pushes past it, laying down irresistible song structures then blowing them to psychedelic bits. “I found myself thinking about this record as a darker, looser, louder, counterpart to Success,” he explains. “Both records charge forward from the jump and mix the elliptical with the blunt, and longing with self-mockery. But Success is like laughing in a car gunning carelessly through an ice storm, and Expensive Air is how you laugh at yourself as the car spins into the ditch, or a tree. Same trip, but a little closer to the bone.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joyful Noise Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Green LP","offer_id":50445220086091,"sku":"2202558","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50445219823947,"sku":"2202557","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Expensive_Air_0b5ea18e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727034381"},{"product_id":"romance-1","title":"Romance","description":"\u003cp\u003eOneida has been a cornerstone of the Brooklyn underground for nearly two decades. Always evolving, the group has been a beacon of musical exploration and enthralling unpredictability, gaining legendary status among heads that know and expanding the limits of what it means to be a rock band. With a discography spanning over a dozen full-lengths, plus live releases, EPs, singles, and limited one-offs, Oneida has demonstrated a mastery of collective improvisation, off-kilter songwriting, complex composition, and everything in between. In 2011 Oneida lost its home base, its studio dubbed the Ocropolis in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, due to the pervasive gentrification and over- development of the neighbourhood that was once a thriving arts community. After watching the Monster Island building that housed the Ocropolis transform into a pile of rubble, the band began an intense period of exploration and discovery, retreating from the studio in favor of the stage, and birthing a panoply of limited, uncompromising releases that documented the band’s continuously unfolding journey. Six years after the release of \u003ci\u003eA List of the Burning Mountains,\u003c\/i\u003e the final emission from the Ocropolis, the band release their newest studio creation \u003ci\u003eRomance\u003c\/i\u003e, their first album for Joyful Noise Recordings and a record marked by wild eclecticism, even for a group known for its shape-shifting nature. Recorded over several years in various locales, the 11 songs on \u003ci\u003eRomance\u003c\/i\u003e are built around deeply developed long-arc rhythm \/ phase concepts, noise, yearning, blind guitar rage, longing, the lurch of dying electronics, and a multi-modal embrace of human fallibility and artifice. From the crackling synth-led opener \u003ci\u003eEconomy Travel\u003c\/i\u003e to the expansive 18-minute epic \u003ci\u003eShepherd’s Axe, Romance\u003c\/i\u003e is an album in constant flux. On \u003ci\u003eBad Habit\u003c\/i\u003e the band employs phasing between organ and guitar to great, disorienting effect, while the primitive riffs of \u003ci\u003eCockfight \u003c\/i\u003eoffer a contrasting vision of rock minimalism. Listen closely on \u003ci\u003eLay of the Land \u003c\/i\u003eand you will hear constant rhythmic development, with drummer Kid Millions eschewing repetition in favor of morphing patterns of hi-hat and snare. As with all mystery, \u003ci\u003eRomance\u003c\/i\u003e reveals more through closer attention and multiple listens. Oneida, always formidable in the live environment, will be touring throughout the year. Kid Millions remains one of the most in-demand drummers in New York, exploring the outer reaches of percussion music with his own Man Forever project, as well as playing with Laurie Anderson, Royal Trux, and People of the North with Oneida compatriot Bobby Matador. Bobby also takes part in the psych-pop duo Nurse and Soldier, and recently formed yet another duo called New Pope. Guitarist Shahin Moita is a co-founder of underground stalwarts Ex Models and Knyfe Hyts. Through it all Oneida remains a powerful collective voice, a propulsive force for wildness and excitement, with Romance heralding the return of the epic, artful ballad version of the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double Black Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Double Red Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joyful Noise","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50497128071499,"sku":"1027874","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497129349451,"sku":"1027871","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ae14f88c-0ae5-467b-97c3-a6c3b80adc03_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727726441"},{"product_id":"success","title":"Success","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst new album 2018’s \u003ci\u003eRomance. \u003c\/i\u003eExperimental psych-punk institution Onedia returns with \u003ci\u003eSuccess\u003c\/i\u003e, the band’s most guitar-centric, rocking album in decades.
