Oxford Collapse - Some Wilderness

Debut album from 2004 by the Sub Pop signed Oxford Collapse. Its songs were a pastiche of naïve yet thrilling experiments in tempo, melody, and repetition filtered through a pop song template. Before its release, original bassist Yong Sing da Silva left for med school and took his house records with him. Mid 2004 marked the arrival of bassist/singer Adam Rizer, joining longtime core of singer / guitarist Michael Pace and drummer Dan Fetherston; it also saw the release of a pair of EPs, one of which contained a cover of seminal Kansan band The Embarrassment’s "Celebrity Art Party".
