I loved their last album called rights at Dawn. I haven't heard much from them after that.

Rites at Dawn is the name.
Wobbler is essentially the brainchild of keysman Lars Fredrik Frøislie, who's a musician-workaholic in several genres and has a LOT going for him at all times. He's working in at least a handful of different projects simultaneously (music for film and TV and theatre, studio jobs as hired hand, production duties etc.), so we'll just have to forgive him for not thinking that "our prog" warrants advantages over the rest of it. Last I heard about Wobbler was an urge to do more gigging, while at the same time seeing new material come to life in the rehearsal space and careful plans to start recording stuff "maybe next year at the earliest". Chances are good that the band will take yet a new turn as regards stylistic approach, though - but still remaining "prog" in one way or another.
Martin (drummer) is in the excellent Tusmørke, who are "prog" but very different from Wobbler. They're usually playing to impressive-size audiences here in Norway and have two records out.

I read a review recently of a gig they did in Norway last October with new guitarist Geir Marius-Halleland including a new song called Gnocchi which is apparently a tribute to Museo Rosenbach and Il Balletto Di Bronzo.

I love Wobbler!!! All three records really speak to me. Hopefully a new album materializes soon.

I love their music too-the song 'In Orbit' from 'Rites At Dawn' is my favorite track of theirs. Just stunning.
At 70, I'm a Wobbler (and also a fan of the band). In my aged & oft deluded brain, I'm an ex-pat retiree living in Norway.
I have & love all 3 albums. For me anyway, there are many moments when I'm listening to them that "time stands still".
