But at heart they're a power trio, given to three-CD sets and conceptual trilogies, to freak-folk and slow metal and Krautrock and dub reggae, to plunking the same note over and over for a quarter-hour or more until you realize they've been gradually shifting all along. On early albums like 1999's <I>Enemy Hogs</I>, they come off as a kind of stoner-rock unit, but on 2000's definitive half-hour-plus <I>Steel Rod</I> EP, they squeeze Link Wray barbed-wire twang and a choogling Creedence cover into weird nerd-rock that balances the sludge with science-lab keyboards after the manner of Devo or Pere Ubu. "Power Animals," on 2000's <I>Come on Everybody Let's Rock</I>, was about a deadlocked presidential election -- not Bush and Gore, but Tilden and Hayes in 1876. On 2002's double disc, <I>Each One Teach One</I>, they carried water-torture minimalism to its breaking point, and since then -- averaging more or less an album a year -- they've gotten both daintier and dronier, picking up indie fans much younger than themselves, then regularly finding ways to dumbfound them. - Chuck EddyAcid Rocken720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:59:59 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28443&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Foneida%2Fplaylists.rss One of the brainiest and most prolific NYC bands of the '00s began as a duo and has done time as a four-piece.
