Little Oblivions is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Julien Baker, released on February 26, 2021.[5] Alongside the album's announcement, Baker released "Faith Healer" as the first single from the album.[6] Little Oblivions is a departure from the acoustic alt folk of her first two albums. It features a full band sound, played almost entirely by Baker herself, with genres encompassing indie rock, alternative rock, emo, soft rock, electronic music, pop punk, post-rock, country, shoegaze, and slowcore.[7][8][9][10][11] The album received acclaim from critics.[12]
