Oneida like their songs long, instrumental, and in multiple parts, and the Brooklyn combo will satisfy all three conditions on its new album, the previously mentioned Preteen Weaponry. Three is the magic number for Oneida, because Preteen Weaponry features a single, mostly instrumental, album-length song split into three parts, and it is also the first record in a three-album trilogy the band is calling Thank Your Parents.

Jagjaguwar will release Preteen Weaponry on August 5. Oneida are already planning to issue Thank Your Parents' second volume, a triple-disc monstrosity called Rated O, early next year.

Oneida have some North American dates supporting Preteen Weaponry in August, most of them with Pittsburgh's Dirty Faces.
