Sweet Oblivion is the sixth studio album by Screaming Trees, released on September 8, 1992 by Epic Records, and produced by Don Fleming. The album became the band’s best selling album and was the closest they came to achieving commercial success.

Screaming Trees released 2 singles in support of their album, Sweet Oblivion: Nearly Lost You, released on December 12, 1992, and Dollar Bill, released on March 7, 1993. Sweet Oblivion sold more than 300,000 copies thanks to Nearly Lost You, their best known song, it was a moderate hit on modern rock radio, in part due to its appearance on the soundtrack of the 1992 Cameron Crowe film Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, a Top Ten, platinum selling hit album which featured many other popular Seattle based music acts from the period.

Around the time of the recording of the album, the band’s original drummer Mark Pickerel left to pursue other musical interests, and was replaced with Barrett Martin. Nearly four years passed between Sweet Oblivion and the band’s next album, Dust, a move that hurt much of the band’s commercial momentum.
