The Friendliest Fight We Know
['Maxie Younger']
Pitchfork
Oen Sujet released a lone album, 2009’s Life Given To Quiet Places, and a few remixes of other artists before retreating as silently and suddenly as they had arrived.
Now, after 17 years, they return with The Friendliest Fight We Know, a record that builds on the band’s prior work with startling continuity and immediacy.
Oen Sujet’s catalog sounds equally like the product of a random number generator or a malfunctioning algorithm as of a deeply mercurial artist.
0.0The Friendliest Fight We Know credits one other core member, lead vocalist and lyricist Hammerbell, in addition to Phillips.
Far from it: The callbacks feel like a celebration and a natural consequence of the sheer specificity and clarity of Oen Sujet’s sound.
