Oneohtrix Point Never - Again

Ah it was this one:

(not that much earlier :P)

i caved and consumed the leak

outrageously good

The video looks like I imagine a dmt trip to be like in a way. Finally some material from warp that goes that goes on par with their prime releases. Really well done

Where does it's sound land compared to the previous albums? I'm gonna hold out but ackowledge you as one of the resident OPN experts so wondering if you have any concise thoughts.

honestly a bit of everything

it has moments reminiscent of rifts, the plunderphonics and vaporwave eras, the safdie scores, the recent 'poppier' stuff (but thankfully nothing as gaudy as no nightmares) 

i think this one's gonna take a long time to digest but initial thoughts are very positive! 

it's really, really fkn good.

i've given it about a half dozen listens and stopping now until my bleep copy is downloadable.

given opn's talk show thing I'm guessing bleep/warp aren't going to release early given there's evidently a promo plan.

Is there a recommended distributor to order this, stateside?

Live dates announced !

During the Myriad tour I had to cancel my ticket to the Paris gig, one of my biggest regrets concert-wise. This time I will hopefully be able to make it !!

Tempted but I'll listen to the LP first

got tix to the brooklyn show

My copy arrived. Listening now.

Long but great interview in The New Yorker.

Cannot link it here so here's a PDF.

Japan bonus track is 'My Dream Dungeon Makeover'. It's okay but don't lose sleep over it.

How are you liking it, Fumi

R+7 turns 10 this week. This should prob. just be attached to the thread for that album but I felt it appropriate to share here, in case there are comparisons to draw with the new one. This album always felt older than 10, although they're unrelated it's wild to me to think this came out AFTER Tomorrow's Harvest by BoC. I'm just getting really old, is what it comes down to.

It's very good on two or three listens. There are some bizarre interludes on tracks like Krumville and Lorcian Midwest.

Oh just caught this - looks like he's playing the album on NTS today at 4pm central standard

https://www.nts.live/schedule

Not listening until tomorrow. Master of my domain. 

So, I've had this on repeat most of the day.

• This is almost the polar opposite of his last three albums.
• Moments of this remind me of much, much earlier work.
• The title track is my standout at the moment. Especially the second half of it.
• He still does that trademark thing of just ambling along and then suddenly, boom, there's like five or ten seconds of godliness.
• Some of the tracks have this sound of something like an old analogue phone ringing faintly in the background.
• It doesn't have the pristine polished sound of the last few albums, which goes better with the type of vibe the album gives out.

Listening to the NTS stream now, it's definitely a trip. Reminding me mostly of R+7 so far. I have no idea what track I'm on since it's just playing thru but it's really immense so far.

That was pretty damn good.

Well that was excellent. Can’t wait to hear it again.

"lush"

She's a beauty. I expected him to continue further into the bizarre pop sound so it's awesome to hear so much R+7/rifts in this.
