This is part one of the "Thank Your Parents" triptych of Oneida releases. "Preteen Weaponry", itself, has three parts and is meant to be listened to at once (in order).

It is almost entirely instrumental. Each part was recorded at different times and in different states of mind, but all on the same day.

Oneida members past, present and future all contributed to this project. It reminds Oneida of what a live performance might sound like.

It contains captured improvisational moments married with craft. Oneida have worked on this song off and on for the last three years.

You can consider it an introduction to their forthcoming triple album "Rated O", which is part two of the fore-mentioned triptych (to be released by Jagjaguwar in early 2009).
