“Oxbow is a long-lived Avant-Garde band out of San Francisco, California notable for a unique sound. Oxbow plays a blend of Noise Rock, Experimental Jazz, Musique Concrete (AMG), and Blues, creating soundscapes caustic, or plangent, with overtones of paranoia, revulsion, exaltation.” – Wikipedia
“What came out of Eugene’s body the night we played with Oxbow in France was definitely not crap! I believe it is called jiz.” – Matt Kadane
I don’t know the first thing about Let Me Be A Woman, other than I found it for $5 at Amoeba last month. Apparently it is a long out-of-print CD that was recorded by Steve Albini in 1995, and released on Brinkman Records. The insert includes lyrics and musical notation. I always knew Eugene Robinson was a wordsmith, but I don’t think I’d ever read his lyrics until I found this CD. Beautiful stuff. The music is standard Oxbow fare, mixing the above-mentioned genres into a sound entirely their own. It’s a gas, man.
