Indie Outfit Oba Consider What Could Have Been on Ethereal & Introspective Piece
Toronto indie band Oba first crossed paths back in high school, but it wasn’t until after graduation that their musical journey together truly began.

Those years were filled with more hanging out than anything else, but that downtime was critical in establishing the deep, unbreakable bond that now defines the band. It’s the essence of their friendship—filled with shared laughs, late-night conversations, and musical experimentation—that ultimately laid the foundation for Oba’s sound.

Playlist: Ghosts, labyrinths and brutalism
Labyrinthine Oceans - Pinch The Oceans’ latest single came out last week and maintains the high standards we’ve come to expect from them. Woozy, hazy dream-rock, a firm grounding in shoegaze canon and enough originality to make these kind of labels their own.
