Oblique Seasons is a great album, it has a solid indie rock guitar vibe with a punk attitude and a more laid back feel at times too. There’s great riffing from really distorted to clean tones propelled by solid drumming and bass playing. The vocals are excellent too, a variety of styles to suit the songs and always with great attitude.
