Oxes
The Fourth Wall
INCLUDES 20-YEAR ANNIVERSARY FIRST ALBUM REMASTERED, UNRELEASED FIRST PEEL SESSION AND 12 PAGE BOOKLET.
OXES, (1998-2011) was an experimental, instrumental trio hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, comprising of guitarists Marc
Miller and Nat Fowler, and drummer Christopher Freeland.
With performance-art tinged of instrumentals that incorporated wireless guitars and stand-up comedy, they describe their
music as "heavy metal tone poems."
Now they commemorate the 20-year anniversary of their first LP with a gatefold double vinyl remastered by Sarah
Register.
The new release The Fourth Wall features the original self titled album and the groups first Peel Session - which was
previously unavailable in high fidelity - as well as a booklet featuring never-before-seen photos and texts about their
history. The cover, which was painted by Christopher Freeland, reinterprets OXES original cover photograph by Eric
Wareheim.
With cosmic synchronicity, the bands guitarists being born on the birth and death days of Jimi Hendrix respectively,
they immanentize the eschaton this year; on the day of the records release, as the number 42 presents itself as the age
of guitarist Marc Miller and the year in which Hendrix was born.
The collection will be available on double vinyl in a superb gatefold cover with a matte finish and a 12-page booklet,
all housed in a futuristic heat-sealed aluminum sleeve.
