  1. 7.0 |   Clash

    Oberman Knocks’ intriguing methods of imprisoning, gouging and deprogramming dubstep / techno / sadistic chillout achieve a compellingly ugly writhe through walls of surround sound

  2. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    For those who enjoy their electronica darker and moodier, Oberman Knocks orbits the same space as the Warp and Ghostly International labels

  3. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    What the record lacks in diversity or narrative development it compensates for in the clarity of its vision, testifying to the imaginative potency of Truswell's narrow-focus approach

  4. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Every tone, every beat, is richly textured, even if those textures are uncomfortable to apprehend. The rhythms, inhuman and pseudo-random though they may be, are intriguing

  5. 5.0 |   NME

Laura Marling  Once I Was An Eagle

Laura Marling seems to be an unshakeable creature, whose art firmly belongs to herself. Compare her to Bob Dylan all you like, but to issue a bold statement, Marling here proves herself, not as a product, but as an equal This Is Fake DIY

The National  Trouble Will Find Me

A layered, resoundingly human work that extends their winning streak without so much as breaking a sweat The Quietus

Laura Marling  Once I Was An Eagle

The French duo's 4th album has picked up a good number of 10/10 and 9/10 ratings, but also a handful of 6/10s. Responses range from those who see it as an album that will still be being listened to a decade hence and others who are left thinking "is that it?"
