Oblivion! is the fifth extended play by British indie rock band Sundara Karma. The EP was released on 1 April 2022 through Chess Club Records. [4] It is the band's second EP that was produced by Clarence Clarity, after the first being their 2020 EP, Kill Me .
Oblivion! stylistically has a combination of future pop, pop rock and '00s emo sounds. [1] [2] Frontman Oscar Pollock said he "wanted to take pop rock to a maximalist and super saccharine place" for the EP's production. During the making, he had been revisiting music from around 2003 and felt nostalgic about it at the time. [4] Both Oblivion! and Kill Me were done in the same headspace Pollock was in that he described them as "siblings". [9]
