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 F***ing Champs, Shahin Motia of Ex Models, Brad Truax of Home, and frequent Oneida collaborator Barry London.
