Obvious Books

About Me

"Obvious Books are criminally enthusiastic exponents of ultra-cheap post-modernist noise construction and all round good sports. Their angular noise bursts, relentless drum-machine, weaving guitars and casio attacks cannot disguise their chart ambitions. I sincerely hope they cease to exist soon before everyone is dancing to their mindless post-punk dancehall classics"
Geoff Travis, Rough Trade Records
