Though clocking in at only 29 minutes, Oneida’s Positions is a fairly representative slice of what it’s like to hear the veteran Brooklyn, N.Y., band live: two covers that might as well be the O’s own and a nice drone out. The covers come from This Heat (“S.P.Q.R.”) and Chrome (“All Data Lost”), and the requisite 16-minute jam sesh is on the latter—a sprawling side-long shape-shifter with the band spread out in the mix as if on some surrealistic stage set—Kid Millions’ drums behind a luminescent keyboard gauze emitted by Barry London, before guitarists Shahin Motia and Hanoi Jane come a-tearing through the veil. The spare, original track “Under Whose Sword” sounds nothing like most of the band’s live performance, except that it comes as a surprise, drone-tones and guitar rumination rising and sinking like the bay in autumn. The playlist party banger of the bunch is “S.P.Q.R.,” though, a building chant with multiple levels of urgent historicity, vintage O ready to blow open your local head.
