'A star in heaven knows my name' is the opening line of Ooberman's debut album The Magic Treehouse and pretty much sets the tone for the album. If you don't mind a little tweeness in your music than you might just like Ooberman. If you're the more cynical type or you're part of the Slipknot crowd then this album may not be for you. Ooberman specialise in what might be called hippy punk rock, at least the first half of the album is such with its fast paced tunes about love, travelling, nature and just general nonsense, but fun nonsense nonetheless. The second half slows down the tempo with melancholic tunes such as ''Roll Me In Cotton' and 'Shorley Wall'. They may be off in their own little world but it is a beautiful world Ooberman create and it feels like they've only just begun to tell their fantastical stories.
