Following on from two amazing albums to date, Oberman Knocks continues to grow and evolve as an artist, this time stepping it up a notch in the field of musical experimentation. This four track EP hits you hard with shards of metallic sounds, broken fragments and abandoned beats, making you wander through a valley of abstraction. Dwelling on the darker side as always, but with an almost bleaker perspective, Knocks continues to show a desire to go beyond the realms of the norm, remaining obscure in a delirious fashion. Never an easy listen, but certainly rewarding, Wrecque Byte Quarters reignites a genre that has been too close to dormant for far too long....

Forging five tracks of obtuse, angular arrhythmia crenellated with abstract, broken, gyroscopic electronics and gloomy pads, Oberman nods to Autechre's classic era and finds parallels in the complex, finely wrought compositions of Dalglish.
