Oxbow “Second Talk“

“Second Talk“ is from Oxbow’s new album, Love’s Holiday. Get it now at Un Film De Zev Deans, Adam Espino & Wolf Tijuana “A haunting deconstruction of french new wave’s ’Last Year At Marienbad’, via the cultural toilet bowl that is Artificial Intelligence.“ - Zev Deans About the video, Eugene S. Robinson comments, “I hear other artists complain about AI like it’s going to make us go broke when it steals our ’jobs’. But with “The Second Talk“ we’ve upended the table. Besides which we were already broke, as well as broken, and the video is a perfect reflection of that based as it is one of my favorite movies of all time: Last Year at Marienbad.“ Niko Wenner adds, “The music for “The Second Talk” began like other songs on Love’s Holiday, improvising on my father’s old nylon-string guitar to entertain my baby boy. My dad played that guitar singing folk songs for my mom and us kids, “The fox went out on the town one night” etc. He said the guitar had been given to him by Ry Cooder’s mother, when long ago they worked together at UCLA hospital in Los Angeles. It’s fitting somehow that this video references a French film - L’Année dernière à Marienbad - my Francophone mother would talk about, released about when that guitar came into our family. My son and his mother, my French wife Céline, both hold duel French and U.S. citizenship, she just earned the U.S. part. Of course, an Oxbow song needs a grinding slide-guitar - my old white strat - with a fever-vision video by the Terror Trio, Le Trio de la Terreur, or perhaps better, « Trio Terroir? » May our play, entertain you all. Que notre jeu vous divertisse tous.“ Watch all the Oxbow videos from Love’s Holiday at OXBOW LIVE DATES Sunday, June 16, 2024 CH Zurich X-tra w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Monday, June 17, 2024 IT Milan Magnolia w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Tuesday, June 18, 2024 DE Munich Feierwerk Wednesday, June 19, 2024 DE Berlin Huxleys w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Friday, June 21, 2024 FR Bourlon Rock In Bourlon Saturday, June 22, 2024 NL Den Haag Paard Sunday, June 23, 2024 LUX Luxembourg Atelier w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Monday, June 24, 2024 NL Tilburg O13 w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Tuesday, June 25, 2024 DE Karlsruhe Jubez Wednesday, June 26, 2024 CH Geneva Cave12 Thursday, June 27, 2024 FR Gigors-et-Lozeron CBGC Friday, June 28, 2024 FR Pau La Ferronnerie Saturday, June 29, 2024 FR Clisson Hellfest w/ Mr. Bungle, Spotlights Sunday, June 30, 2024 FR Paris Petit Bain OXBOW is Dan Adams (electrical/acoustic bass), Greg Davis (drums/percussion), Eugene S.
