Style and composition
editOblivion! 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]
