We’re dealing with what it means.Maybe, then, the most interesting thing about Little Oblivions is that it gets us to stop thinking about Julien Baker. Surrounding her voice with more sound turns the spotlight away from her, which helps you realize that Little Oblivions isn’t interested in you understanding someone else’s pain.
