Ooberman - Shorley Wall

Ooberman's final single for Independiente, a re-release of the lead track off the Shorley Wall EP.

They said: "Our most widely loved song was cheapened by a video so lacking in sensitivity, it's shocking. Some nice underwater camera work though."

This is awesome. I had totally forgotten Ooberman but I heard an excellent version of this on Gid Coe's show on 6 Music last night.  Thanks!

my mate introduced me to this, as did a new girl at the time, the lad said, "they'll never do anything this good again." that's the awful truth. fucking superb song.

there was a time when music like this had a chance on BBC radio 1, the so called "in NEW music we trust station'. instead go through the filtration system of bbc introducing and if we that are lucky, we will hear it on 6 music. if we are that lucky ! good luck ! andy parfitt going, there might be more of a chance.

I bought this on CD single. Lovely stuff.

@pandyand Indeed they did, twas a very special moment. The after party was awesome. One of the most underated and underrecognised band of the last 15 years.

Achingly Beautiful. & yes, I miss Mark & Lard too- wasn't it those two who came up with 'Vague News'???!!

Man I love Ooberman - they've been sort of reincarnated now as "The Magic Theatre" - I think it's just Danny and Sophie - not sure. They played as Ooberman a couple of weeks ago in a tribute gig along with my mate's band Wolventrix. Apparently Sophie almost cried doing her poem bit on Shorley Wall. I'm bloody gutted I missed it, especially as I gather they all hung around singing together til 3 in the morning! Damit. I hope there's a next time...
