"The Oblivion does the '80s better than the '80s did." — DNA MAGAZINE
"Here's one for those who like their synth-pop dark-edged, queer, and existential, with a side of cosmic fancy and cinematic nous." — THE NEEDLE DROP
"The Oblivion runs on analogue synth lines, driving beats and hook-led songwriting, blending Depeche Mode, Kate Bush and OMD with contemporary synthwave." — 1883 MAGAZINE
Minute Taker’s new cinematic synthpop album The Oblivion expands on the 80s-inspired sound of its predecessor Wolf Hours, unfolding into a richer, more immersive universe.
Drawing on the retro-futurism of Blade Runner, the nocturnal romanticism of The Lost Boys, and the looming existential weight of The Terminator, each song explores different facets of desire, self-control and escapism.
