Oneida: Preteen Weaponry (Jagjaguwar)
By John Michael Cassetta • Aug 15th, 2008 • Category: Album Review, Music
Through a veil of snare fills and murky feedback, Preteen Weaponry stammers into existence. This umpteenth album from Oneida is meant to be listened to as one song, divided nicely into three distinct parts (or “movements” if you prefer), all recorded in the same day. It’s slow and persistent, a challenging album at best, but one of the most intelligent and primitively enjoyable releases of the year from a band who’s never received even half the credit they deserve.
