▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Meet Rob Overseer, a sonic producer who ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ appreciates the finer ironies of life ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ and music while crafting thunderous ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ soundscapes brimming with bristling ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ beats and layers of post-apocalyptic ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ power chords. With the release of ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Wreckage, his first full-length album, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Overseer signals the arrival of a ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ massive new sound on the high-tech ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ horizon. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ Despite his grandiose moniker, this ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Leeds, England-based bloke stands a mere ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ five-foot-four. "I don't oversee ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ anyone," Rob laughs. "The name gives ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ off the impression of a big entity, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ which is how I like the music to sound."▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Though they may not know Overseer by name ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ (yet), millions of Americans are already ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ familiar with the man's music. Many of ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ the songs on Wreckage have had massive ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ exposure through their use in television ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ advertising campaigns, major motion ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ pictures, video games and extreme ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ sports films. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ More and more, high-tech video game ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ designers, producers of cutting edge ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ television advertising, and purveyors of ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ extreme sports action are finding ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ usages for the exhilarating rave-ups of ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Overseer. The scorching track "Horndog" ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ has recently been picked up for the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ television ad campaign for the new ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Mitsubishi Endeavor. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Overseer's increasing popularity in the ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ video gaming community is a bit ironic, ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ considering the fact that Overseer does ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ not yet own a PlayStation 2. "I do have ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ a Nintendo," he deadpans. "It's been ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ sitting around gathering dust." ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Perhaps that's because he already ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ treats music like a three-dimensional ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ futuristic game. Working in a medium of ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ frantic blips, bleeps and breakbeats, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Overseer has something of a checkered ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ musical past. As a teenager, he played ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ guitar in school bands, dressed in ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ all-black and worshipped The Cure, ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Smiths, Pixies and Sisters of Mercy. After ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ hearing Pop Will Eat Itself, Public ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest's first ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ album, he fell in love with the ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ possibility of throbbing beats and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ pulsing electronic rhythms. Meanwhile, ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ his brother pumped British heavy metal ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ into the Overseer's music 24/7, and, in ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ 1995, the two styles fused to form the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ blueprint of the Overseer signature ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ sound. To think, that all this noise and ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ assault comes from the brainpan of a ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ closet melody freak who name-checks ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Neil Young, Frank Sinatra and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Radiohead as a few of his personal ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ favorites. ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ "There's always been a rock element to ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ my dance music," Overseer says. "My ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ brother listened to AC/DC and Mot rhead ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ and I picked up on that. I think of ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ everything in terms of sounds. If I want ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ something that is going to push that ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ button, which is the equivalent of a ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ big rock number, lots of times you have ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ to go back to the guitar." ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Once the Overseer project was properly ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ launched, he released two indie EPs -- ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ "The Zeptastic" (1996) and "Hit The ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Tarmac" (1998) -- and began receiving rave ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ reviews (including a big two-thumb's-up ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ from Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook). After ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ doing a bit of live DJing and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ performing nearly two dozen live dates ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ in the UK, Overseer signed with Columbia ▀█████████
