Oneida: “A List of Burning Mountains”

One or more members (who knows?) of Oneida recently made a cameo during the encore for the first night of Yo La Tengo’s two-nights at Paradise Rock Club. They all played a Monkees cover, lightyears away from the raucous noise onslaught of 2012’s A List of Burning Mountains. An album title that seems more relevant than ever. And a sound that is shelf-stable, serving up metal machine music for the new millennium. If our highlighted track “A List of the Burning Mountains 1” doesn’t strike your fancy, flip the record and have a go at “A List of Burning Mountains 2.” Is that a power drill we’re hearing?

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
