Some 15 years after Oneida started blowing minds in Brooklyn, the band continues to unearth devious ways to deconstruct and re-weave musical fabrics of all kinds. After dabbling in a variety of formats and packages, the band has released A List of the Burning Mountains: a two-track, 40-minute work. Instead of experimenting with stoner-rock grooves, playful art-skronk, or Krautrock-inspired constructs, the band has made a work that's multi-textured, ambient, and both beautiful and somewhat terrifying. Each track unfolds and transforms, with commanding drums and oxygen-sucking dissonance and feedback, meditative/aggressive guitars, and keyboards that churn out free jazz fractals and atmospheric washes of mood-ring color. Passages morph from introspective to combative (or the reverse) with unerring stealth. The first track is the more challenging one, with a rather harrowing middle section. The second track is slightly less unsettling and quite beautiful. We'd recommend Secret Wars or Happy New Year) for new listeners, but A List… holds inarguable rewards.
