Second camera Pierre-Alain Clauzin
he does so much with his voice.
I'm currently obsessed with Robinson's journalism, vocal ART, and his sheer intelligence. My own son recently passed away and I would seriously adopt Eugene as my honorary child. Well done...in every genre. Oh, he's also hysterically FUNNY. 💜
Reminds me of Captain Beefheart, who is an amazing poet, singer, and painter and all around artist, but also a complete madman
Rest in peace
I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad you've found something to bring you up!
Unbelievable. Oxbow has been my favorite band for almost a decade now and they never disappoint. Not before, not now. I can't wait for May 5th, Berlin to see them live. I'm listening to this on repeat. Can't put it down.
That record is an absolute MASTERPIECE!
That fret less bass was beautiful. The whole jam is just Oxbow sex. I am loving the mix on this song. I heard they got different engineers for the digital and the vinyl versions. I wonder what differences there will be in the two versions.
Dan has been playing fretless for the whole time. He was originally a (great) drummer, and used to play jazz gigs with his brother Bob. then bought a Hammond B3 and Leslie, which filled our living room, and learned to play with the foot pedals. When he picked up the fretless I thought he was crazy, but damn.
Love the sound of this song, very much
Two years past and this is still one of the best things I've ever heard. Greetings from Brazil, oxbow
Four years now and I'm sad the album is off spotify :(
Brasil pohaaaaa
@@MrPedromuriela discografia deles tá de volta ao Spotify, tem uns álbuns novos lá, vai sair outro álbum novo em Julho
Eugene Robinson & Henry Rollins yelling at each other, agreeing, making a point... a show I'd love to witness.
Holy Fucking Shit! I feel like I've been waiting for this for decades! This is something else!
I absolutely love this after many tens of listens. Gives more and more each time. Thanks for making it worth the wait.
I've been waiting a long time for this. Still remember the epic performance you gave in Athens, GR 10 years ago (support tour with ISIS). Thank you so much for everything!
So happy to see this
This has to be the best song of the year.
Now THIS is how you age gracefully as a rock band without losing your edge. Far too many bands/artists soften their sound in the hope of becoming 'mature' and they just get boring. Either that or they just repeat past glories, treading over the same worn ground ad infinitum/ad nauseam. or they fall into solipsism (e.g recent Mark Kozelek).
Oxbow, along with Swans, are great models for creative bands to look up to in order to gain some insight into how to do it right.
except cannibal corpse
Yeah, the Swans have been killing it lately and this new Oxbow album is a fucking masterpiece. You couldn't have said it better.
AGree w/ both Oxbow and Mark Koz....His music has been Garbage since Benji.
Idk man I don't think you're using the right word to describe Mark Kozelek
@@clarefitzgerald9335 even Common As Light !?
looking forward to see you guys in munich. it's a 180km drive but damn i 'd really see you guys live-again. seen you in vienna and innsbruck but that's a long time ago. great new tune. very catchy;)
i am so about this. thank you, all of you! i'm counting the days til i can subject my poor neighbors to the whole record.
Gotta get to a cold & well-lit place.
amazing music and voice, the bass is just incredible
Amazing song and the video perfectly compliments it....Kudo's all round!
thanks, mr. melon.
I love the Melon, but I managed to find this on my own! How about that?
@@mtMage3 so did I, high five?
So did I...and I'm 64 years old! 😁
Roadburn show was amazing!
Very cool song and video. Awesome to see the artists responding to the fans, too. CANNOT WAIT for Thin Black Duke. Really hoping there's a tour in support of the album, with an Iowa date in it. Great job, dudes.
love Iowa....was there when I interviewed Gable most recently but hard to get there on tour....places to play? Please let us know: ox_bow@hotmail.com. and thanks.
also ..guitar tone is sick as usual...what setup did you guys use?
Thanks! Studio recording guitar setup is split-signal into a lot of simultaneous amps: 100 watt 70's Marshall; 70's 25 watt greenback celestian speaker 4x12; 100 watt Bogner into Bogner 4x12; early 60's Silvertone 1482 open back 1x12 combo (w/ a pre-amp-out jack); 100 watt early 80's Mesa-Boogie Mark IIb 1x12 combo; a 50's U.S. army p.a. amp converted into a guitar amp; modern re-issue Marshall 4x12 cab with 30 watt celestian speakers; strat or les paul guitar is usually plugged first through an old version Radial Switchbone. All the above is constantly rewired, for each song and/or overdub, to change the sound. Live is all Boogie: the Mark IIb combo in center, and left/right are the Marshall 4x12 cabs powered by a TriAxis into a stereo 2:ninety power amp. (whew.)
Bands like Oxbow show how incredibly reductive it is to classify music by genre. There's really no other band that sounds quite like them. The more music I listen to, the less interested I am in genres. Finally saw them live just over a week ago and they have a phenomenal live sound.
WOW
I would really like to read the lyrics
they'll be in the Thin Black BOOK. which will be released separately and soon. 80 plus pages of glory.
Great art.
Wow! Amazing song. It's classy and raw at the same time. It is representative of this band works?
thanks. and yes.
I could be fooled by the business suits, but there seems to be a ton of Nick Cave influence in this. Not a bad thing.
Niko what did you do
omg omg omg
I told myself after the first listen that I'm not gonna listen to this again until I get the album..
I've been whistling the goddamn tune all day long
Me too man, whistling it everywhere I walk
Does anybody get the David Bowie reference? Because he had a character named the thin white duke
literally everyone does dude
😁
I have a good feeling about this new album
$100 to the person who can post the lyrics accurately.
Lyrics?
in the CD, LP and in the companion book.
Yea, I know drinking is a sin
this track is a fucking earthquake
Melon man sent me
This is what English sounds like to a non-native speaker.
I'd sarcastically say "finally" if I didn't think Eugene would put me in a triangle.
Awesome track.
FINALLY
*Only 18* 👇👇👇

This is such a badass album & band, it sucks they aren’t more well-known
I actually prefer that they aren't known that well..but yes seriously underrated.
This is one of the best rock songs of the decade easy! So goddamn good! Love the lyrics, remind me a lot of something I'd hear on a Jesus Lizard record (Down era).
Eugene, nice piece! Love the arrangement, musicianship, and your smooth vocals. I thought I heard strings and horns sprinkled in the mix at times.....were those actual musicians or sound libraries?
The monochrome feel of the video provides new fans, like myself, with a very sophisticated version of a more matured and refined Oxbow! Again, nice work all around!
4iamu yes those are real professional symphonic musicians from here in the San Francisco Bay area, a sixteen part orchestra with eight brass and eight strings, I wrote and arranged their parts, glad you like the whole thing and thanks for listening.
actual musicians, bro!!!! Another satisfied Knuckle Up listener! see? I won't steer you wrong!
Niko, outstanding job! Whoever mixed and engineered this recording also deserves major props!
4iamu, engineered and mixed by Mr. Joe Chiccarelli and yes he worked magic again!
Incredible!
I'll always enjoy the fact that I'll never find out what the hell Eugene is saying half the time 😂. I enjoy singing along with the noises that he makes or hum to it.... Also, looks like I got another song stuck in my head for awhile now.
Lyrics COME with the record AND are in the book the THIN BLACK BOOK, hahah....
HAH. better than seeing me outside your bedroom window.
I'd have to say these songs only get better with lyrics. There's something strangely compelling about music that you can't understand the lyrics to, but the lyrics tell the story here.
Not to mention the whistling
I'd be okay with seeing the Thin Black Duke outside my window. I'd accept that death.
I would frickin love to see a video for "A Gentleman's Gentleman." Easily my favorite track on the record. It's just so visceral and dark and grooves so hard. And Eugene's performance is just straight up psychotic haha. It's a vocal performance truly unlike any other.
This being the first track of the album, I'm very curious as to how the whole thing will progress. Extremely excited for this release, more so than any other I can remember.
well worth the wait! wonderful work. A bit more melodic than previous maybe? Parts of this song renind me of Shudder to Think's most creative moments taken to some other darker dimension. Total top 10 of the year album
Yes...very east coast DC/NYC.
i always whistle along, i love this song sm
INCREDIBLE...
Why isn’t this album on Spotify anymore?
Jacob Cordoves its also not on apple music
It seems like a bunch of bands on the Hydra Head label got pulled down. Discordance Axis isn't on Spotify anymore either.
Wow, so beautiful.
Heaven.
Can I say...Brilliance? When the old-school becomes the new school.
I can't get that fuckin whistling out of my head, I've been humming it all week. On a side note, any chance a few vinyl copies of Thin Black Duke might make thier way down under, or am I just gonna get fucked on shipping?
HydraHead knows all. Sees all. But me? No idea. If life is any indicator though? You're getting fucked.
Thanks for turning me into these guys, Fantano. Fucking incredible!
the transition @ 1:40 is so beautiful! love the song!
Good stuff.
OXBOW is the best cure for hangover, kickass
Davis Larry Rodriguez Ruth White Nancy
uh, yeah i fuckin love this. 1st listen, u caught my eye. 2nd listen, come home with me.
This is just wow! Straight up good music, is reminds me of how good things were and how good things can still be if you do it for The right reasons
I feel this
OXBOW is still kicking my ass.......they always will, haha!
goddamn amazing band.
This is amazing. Thank you.
just got turned on to your music and it's been what i've been looking for for a long time.
v a r i e t y
Fucking incredible, they just get better over time
Absolutely worth the wait.
Sweet and dandy sweet and dandy
Awesome vid!
Great track & video!
But why isn't the frontman featured on the thumbnail?
HAH! you forgetting what I look like?
Full disclosure - I caught the conversation about this on Care/Don'tCare.
hahah....An MMA fan! cool....
a b s o l u t e l y g r e a t ! ! !
Goddamn, can't wait to get this album!
holy shit
great song!
pure magic
So good
One of my all time favorite musical scores in a very very very long time.
can someone help me with the lyrics. the only thing i could clearly hear was the word "comes"
Bravi!!!!!!
soundtrack to our hell
Also...that Chevy ain't no joke.
oh no. it's a killer.
Noel Grassy what kind of car is it?
1965 chevelle
QUIEN ESCUCHANDO 2012
long long time fan. wtf does this video mean?
the lyrics explain it ALL!
TheEugeneS RobinsonShow I will try harder. Simply a Masterpiece btw. somehow i was unaware that this had been released until a month ago. And per the ever present matrix of existential dread and woe that I exist in, My first listen coincided with the dissolving of a long relationship with my girl, getting a 12 day eviction notice, and some kind of health issue i havent nailed down yet.
this albulm, as with all the others, has already come to define both the death and birth between Eras, for me. In a review, the phrase "masters of pathos" was used to describe Thin Black Duke..
Pathos infuckingdeed. How do you guys channel Ruin and Melancholy so effectively? Damnit Niko, your guitar sound fills a musical abyss never before so closely looked into, and I have stared into it. Mr Robinson, your vocal torture is ours, and we are happily blighted.
thank you for everything you do, i still dont understand the video. ill try harder.
and now? Have things "improved" for you?
Oceanus Procellarum thank you kindly, and yes, how are you doing lately?!
!!!!!!!!
awesome
Mantony Mantano was right, this some good shiiet.
like it but am sending it to the next person who says they can't make out the words on my songs..
that's what lyric sheets are for, haha....
i just told tell them to make up their own words that sound similar.
YOOOO THIS DUDE IS LIKE THE DEATH GRIPS OF METAL. HE GOTTA BLOW UP
Wat
EVER HEARD OF DEATH GRIPS?
lol yeah, but this is nothing like death grips... or metal really?? Are you just a fantano memer? -_-
I don't see how this is anything like Death Grips, and its definitely not metal
Also, Oxbow have been around for a long ass time
Literally the only reason you said that is because both bands have black vocalists. Like... Wut
I think if I practised long enough I too could learn to play out of tune..lol
