Oxbow is an American experimental/noise-rock quartet from San Francisco led by vocalist Eugene S. Robinson, known for intense, blues-inflected avant-garde rock.

Formed in San Francisco; core members include Eugene S. Robinson (vocals), Niko Wenner (guitar), Dan Adams (bass) and Greg Davis (drums). Serenade in Red was produced by Steve Albini. Early releases include Fuckfest and King of the Jews.

DeBaser's reviewers treat Oxbow as an intense, uncompromising experimental/noise-rock band with strong blues and avant-garde elements. Reviews praise visceral vocals, dramatic dynamics, and adventurous arrangements across multiple albums. Overall reception is positive with notes on consistency amid evolution.

For:Fans of experimental/noise rock, adventurous listeners, followers of intense blues-inflected avant-garde music

 Madly paranoid, disconcerting, voluminous ("Down A Stair Backward"), askew, sickly, over+flowing ("A Winner Every Time"), unstable, recalcitrant, gasping, splashing, (why not) damned, unusual ("Frank's Frolic"), mephistophelic psychic-blows ("It's The Giving, Not The Thinking") are democratically/equally distributed everywhere (by Ai Fai, comma, to the min) condensing a light as well as abnormal alternative-blues-noise-rockfoggy little opera: as intensely eavesdrop-disturbing as impeccably mucho+quite neuron-involving.
