Some Wilderness (CD)
Oxford Collapse's debut LP, Some Wilderness, already named "one of 2004's standout releases," also received acclaim for their "nimble and impressive-reconfiguring of their influences." Weaned on early-to-mid nineties American indie rock, this trio churns away in flux between hard-charging combos like Mission of Burma and Husker Du to the dancier sounds of The Rapture and Radio 4. Critics from San Francisco to Austria have called it "highly danceable, a bit noisy, and sexy as hell," while their "stylistic jumping from noise to dance to disco to chaos is just flawless." Indie tome Punk Planet said their "bizarre fusion makes for some good dancin' music," while Danceofdays.org accurately referred to them as "house music played by punk rock kids." For fans of Pylon, !!!, Sonic Youth, and Liars.![]()
