Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden surge of distorted guitar and crashing drums that breaks the tension in the middle of Island.
The way her voice leaps into a crystalline, bird-like falsetto during the chorus of Walk This World.
The mournful, sawing cello melody that anchors the sparse arrangement of Blue Black.

How does Oyster sound next to the rest of Heather Nova's catalogue?

Cello+1.3σ

The instrumentation foregrounds cello notably more than the catalogue usually does.
