She’s A Find and Frank’s Frolic are *chef’s kiss*

A Winner Every Time would maybe be my go-to Oxbow introductory rec, if such an occasion were to arise.

Overall this just ain’t as wildly unhinged as Serenade / Evil, think it’s been knocked back to third place. However, that’s a mighty fine place to be.

When this finally clicks... god nothing sounds like this band even today, the critical part of brain kinda switches off and just blurts out the word "special"

didn't these guys have a new album coming out this year?

I could bump my rating for this one, but that may put the pressure on for potential domino-effect bumps elsewhere. It would be 3 x consecutive Oxbow 4.5s

might do another comprehensive run through their discog and see what's what

True. This is a relatively recent love of mine and I like playing hard to get. Marination is in progress.

The road to a Demon's heart is long and treacherous



(to be fair two years isn't exactly 'insignificant', lol)
