WHAT'S YOUR SIGN?

From its drums-bashing, cacophonous beginning to its skronky trumpet-loaded conclusion, the instant chemistry betwixt Rhys Chatham and Oneida is what makes Whata?''s Your Sign' such a seamless and natural partnership: ageless vanguards of minimalism, free-improvisation and noise banding together in a holier than thou union of NYC experimental rock royalty. Four years after their inaugural union at Ecstatic Music Festival inside New York Citya?''s Merkin Concert Hall produced a cosmic din for the ages, two genre-obliterating renegades whoa?''ve made indelible marks in the experimental music pantheona?the NYC-bred, Paris-based avant-garde guitar legend and minimalist composer Rhys Chatham and long-running psychedelic free-rock juggernaut and Brooklyn institution Oneidaa?have joined forces on their first collaborative album proper titled Whata?''s Your Sign', due November 11th, 2016 via Northern Spy Records.With pedigrees carved in hall-of-fame-caliber collaboration and ever-expanding symphonic ensembles (a Chatham touchstone is A Crimson Grail (For 400 Electric Guitars) while Oneidaa?''s twelve hour long free-improvisational drone-fests is stuff of legend), ita?''s no revelation the legendary composer and No Wave veteran and the left-field freethinking noisemakers would make for kindred spirits.
