"Energy" is a single from Daniel Oshima’s debut, self-produced EP, Faces of The Infinite. The song was conceived in the wee hours of the morning during a two week long COVID-caused hibernation from the world and immersion in music: digging, listening, watching interviews, making beats and writing. "Faces of The Infinite" marks a shift from Daniel Oshima's focus on the instrumental side of things towards putting his own words at the forefront as well.

The concept of this album was born during a global lockdown. The producer, Denone , and the lyricist, Obey , put the entire project together with zero contact outside of texts and phone calls. With over 3 years since their last release, there was a lot to say. Precisely My Point is a culmination of thoughts from two grown-ass men navigating life as husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers with 9-to-5 jobs. Even with life happening along with the carnage that COVID-19 brought forth, they found time to make refreshing art. Sonically, this is their finest effort to date, as it should be. Humor, braggadocio rhyme-schemes, lush production and real world issues are all captured in 61 minutes of point precision. Precisely My Point by Obey The Altar Native
