Oxbow have been creating confrontational, abrasive and challenging music since 1990 and the 2007 release of The Narcotic Release on Hydra Head Records is no different.
Continuing to push their music into new and fresh areas, the albums unsettling vibe captured the imaginations of music critics across the UK as Time Out, The Wire, Terrorizer, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Tuned and NME among others cued up to heap praise upon the band.
A lean, mean and thrillingly moody exploration of the ways in which art punk, free jazz, textured soundscapes and sludge/psych rock might combine brilliantly and with a surprisingly degree of swing, in fact, said Time Out. Nice.
