Oneida just released their new album, Success, last Friday via Joyful Noise Recordings. The album marks the bands return since their 2018 full length Romance. The band 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, including the Guggenheim, MoMA PS1, ICA London, MassMOCA and the Knoxville Museum of Art. The band has been known for extended live improvisational performances, collaborating onstage with Mike Watt, members of Flaming Lips, Portishead, Boredoms, Yo La Tengo, Dead C, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and many others.
“One thing that’s important to me about our band is we really believe in following impulse and instinct. That doesn’t mean we can’t be conceptual. We’ll often have ideas and pursue ideas. We just have a lot of faith in the process of moving forward with some blindness and to try and like remain open to whatever chaos directs us. I think it’s funny and awesome that it seems to have resulted in an accessible bunch of music that sort of sounds like you’re at a rock show.”
