Oblique Occasions - punishment

[@ObliqueOccasions]

people have been asking for shirts, so this album (and more) are now available on my etsy: obliqueoccasions.etsy.com/

[@mercoro]

Those random albums that KZbin recommends are like save rooms, like "Hey, you watched too many videos already, now chill and listen to this really calming music." Btw, the album art looks dope, would definitely wear a shirt with this art.

[@chesterstevens8870]

And sometimes they're like puzzle rooms: "So, we heard you're really busy and need to focus. So here's some vapid mall muzak-sounding sh*t because we know that pisses you off."

[@ObliqueOccasions]

thanks very much! i'm glad to hear you like it 🙏

Shibari + smooth grooves + sonic sensuality? I'm in. Well, what is our safe word..?

As someone who is listening to this with a fever of 103.5 f (about 39.4 c), I can confirm that this is in-fact, sick music.

The album cover art is 10/10 beauty. (I fucking like “No more what if’s” best 1st song on the mf album, it feels like some nice funky)

Holy crap this entire album is a work of art. The last half in particular was out of this world. Love the chill, ethereal, lo-fi vibes. Super unique, and unlike any other music I've been able to find lately. So glad I stumbled across your music recently. Turning on oblique occasions for background noise makes even the most mundane things seem atmospheric and cinematic lol

Couldn't have say it better 😄

Being honest here. I clicked because of the Art Thumbnail, but didn't expect this chill music to make me stay for a bit. It is perfect for my reading music.

listening to oblique occasions and playing path of exile makes you feel powerful and relaxed in ways that cant be described in words

Lol man that's exaclty what I'm doing right now !

[@nahuman12]

I feel stuck on a videogame tutorial, loving the vibe.

[@EhrenmannHenno7469]

Thats some great art, thanks for bringing this masterpiece to light. Also very nice coverart. I will be playing this music during my sauna onpourings here in germany, the guests will definitely love it.

[@artophile7777]

I stand here at the metro station at night, astonished by the music and ruminating over the album cover. Quite an atmospheric moment I'm having.

[@yearzeroism]

Ruminating huh

Great discovery, what an album! I usually listen to these instrumental album to work on my thesis, and holy crap the 4th track (speed of life) got me so hooked I'd to stop, save the video, subscribe to the channel and write that comment! Truly amazing work of art my friend!

i would pay good money to go to an aquarium with this music playing slowly in the background. wonderful work!!

I wasn't expecting to find something so good from a random yt recomendation. I was looking for exercise videos, now I'm chilling hahah

[@Be.authentic_]

The art is what made me click. The music is incredible. Never heard music like this before.

[@otto8684]

This is similiar to Haircuts For Men and tbh I have not found music similiar to his, except now this. Excellent album.

[@heavensdoor666]

Listen to sade and portishead, pretty different to this, but similar vibe (r&b, jazz, hip hop vibes)

[@abraxaseyes87]

You know. Portishead 'dummy' is one of the greatest.

[@syrreal]

Would love to have your albums on spotify some day...

[@SPARKLYDEATHCAT]

Same here!

[@pickel259]

Amazing. It gave me a lot of persona vibes, with the unique looping beats as well as the guitar parts and the overall funk and groove to it. ❤❤❤

[@trickponystudios]

10/10 for the music and the cover art. Definitely my new favorite chill out album.

[@drago61901]

Beautiful from the guitar to the synth everything throughout this hits just right

[@the-perfidious]

This album and its art has singlehandedly made me rethink a lot of my life as I stand in a transitional period between late adolescence and real adulthood. I only found you a few short days ago Oblique, but it feels like a lifetime. Thank you.

[@ObliqueOccasions]

thank you for the kind words 🙏

[@JonahSteps]

I feel the same way as you! I turned 24 today, in university abroad right now (late because of covid and took some time to do internships, etc) and I can see a big difference between me and the younger students. It's forcing me to think about my life direction in the short term. I know how you feel! If you're younger than me, this feeling will last a long time, but it's a good thing to feel. It means you are probably going places.

[@TOROislame]

[@lbstrs2099]

glad this got picked up in my algo, enjoying the music!

[@dannyknapp278]

"Speed of life" is such an incredible vibe. The way it comes in and flows. Just magnificent Oblique. Good job as always. DK

[@Ring_nuts]

The second track Parabellum gives me some strong espionage vibes... Also feels a little like Persona. All in all great work!

Sitting in a parked car and listening to this in the rain makes me feel like I’m melting into the whole sky

[@Eli_PC137]

This sounds like something out of Persona 5 or some random JRPG. It also reminds me of vaporwave and old 90s weather channel music but as a whole, it doesn't sound like any one thing. Great album, this is one I will be coming back to for some time

[@Joshi869]

[@CupUhhJo]

Came for the album art (and more so the album name because I was curious about what an album named punishment with shibari imagery would sound like) and stayed for the sounds. Wasn’t expecting a the algorithm to randomly give me this gem.

[@badm.d]

Everyone calls this stuff lo fi, but the production is nice and clean as fuck. Nothing lo fi about it really

[@lewishamel8105]

Right, this is just standard triphop & lounge, great stuff nonetheless

[@draig8259]

Not really true, I can noticably hear that this album has lower fidelity than other music I was just listening to. If I actually downloaded the audio file and looked at the waveforms (but I can't be bothered), I'm sure it would be apparent.

[@lewishamel8105]

@@draig8259 I think it’s more about the labelling really, as it seems that any music dealing in breakbeats, slower tempos and less high end polish is quickly labelled “Lofi”, which pretty much pigeon holes it under the umbrella of lofi(hip hop)
