No band has been so praised for such a wide range of music over the last ten years than Brooklyn's Oneida. Nobody has come close to matching their output of dazzlingly creative, uncategorizable music. Psychedelia, minimalism, maximalism, one-step, infinitewave, blah blah blah blah... it's all there, all the time.

The Library is on Fire. De-evolved start in Kent, Ohio (Steve Five - Singer/Guitarist, born in Ravenna, Ohio. Pete Sustarsic - Drums 'n' Percussion, born in Medina, Ohio), relegated to the Television of New York City by forces other than music (Poetry studies at The New School, something forthcoming called The Book of Black Sunshine, and a series of paradiddles, the Essence of Brushes). Kept afloat, influenced and inspired by the will and wits of a child of the Commonwealth of Virginia (Mark Shue - Bass Guitar/Singer) and guided by the voices of their Ohio venerables and bright wax jammerz (produced by Todd Tobias, Guided By Voices/Robert Pollard/Circus Devils). Part of a long line of ephemerals, smashed bits of guitars in TLIOFHQ, a show as NIVARNA, photo books of lightning and gemstones, notebooks full of images and presents and candy for the mind. Many new songs fulfiled. Volume is currently an opportunity, siding heavily on the liberal, sliding heavily into libel: The Library is on Fire.
