These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home [Orange] [ Vinyl ]

Post-hardcore gets a wild, cerebral makeover with Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home, the explosive debut full-length from These Arms Are Snakes. Pressed on vibrant orange vinyl, this edition isn’t just eye-catching—it’s a searing slice of early 2000s heaviness with a twist of the avant-garde.

From the unrelenting surge of "Angela's Secret" to the angular assault of "Idaho," the band delivers a blistering, mathy ride that refuses to sit still. There's a swaggering sense of chaos held just barely in check, especially in standout tracks like "Big News" and "Gadget Arms." Guitars swerve and shriek, drums pummel with surgical precision, and frontman Steve Snere delivers venom-laced vocals that cut through it all.

Produced by Matt Bayles (of Mastodon and Botch fame), the album fuses post-hardcore intensity with experimental layers and unpredictable turns. There’s a touch of noise rock, a dash of synth weirdness, and a deep, pulsing urgency that never lets up. It’s smart, sharp, and just a bit sinister.

Whether you're rediscovering a 2000s underground classic or diving in for the first time, this orange vinyl pressing is the perfect way to experience Oxeneers. It’s not just a record—it’s a fever dream in stereo.
