It’s interesting enough that Oneida spent the first decade of their
existence being a so-so rock band before transforming into a mind-blowing
vessel of the spectacular, like Supergrass waking up one morning as Led

is something. But the fact that this mad man’s breakfast is actually nothing short of jaw-dropping should be the cause of spontaneous mass copulation in the streets. Opener ‘Brownout In Lagos’ explores the territory between dubstep, ragga, Spacemen 3 and Hawkwind. And then it really gets strange...
