Over the past ten years, no one"s come close to matching Oneida"s output of dazzlingly creative, uncategorizable music. Psychedelia, minimalism, maximalism, one-step, infinite-wave, etc. It"s all there. "Happy New Year" is the Brooklyn band"s most eclectic and coherent to date. It flows flawlessly from a traditional hymn of grim beauty through hypnotic rounds, thunderous kraut grooves, severe ballads, and other indescribable music. Guest appearances include Phil Manley of Trans Am, Emily Manzo of the Fucking Champs, Shahin Motia of Ex Models, Brad Truax of Home, and frequent Oneida collaborator Barry London.
