So, uh, does no one even talk about Rifts anymore?

Older fans and those who knew of him as another synth DIY/underground figure back in the day. I actually still find it wild that I see newer fans, especially people who listen to indie music or more mainstream stuff, gravitate to his WARP stuff and/or consider anything before that his "old/early" stuff. He's been around awhile now.

I think I listen to Rifts more than any other album of his. Got the album print hanging over my deck. It still slaps!

Since Age Of he's certainly moved in a more indie/mainstream direction. I guess you can travel with him on the journey or not. IDM/instrumental purists will struggle with it.

I watched the documentary on the creation of Uncut Gems, and he does come across as a very likeable, down to earth but very talented dude.

dan is super grounded and has a great sense of humour. really happy for his success - dude deserves it!

i'd recommend checking out his RBMA interview to anyone who hasn't already. real insightful and the guy knows his stuff re. music, art and philosophy

Isn't Rifts simply a compilation of his first few albums? 

Either way it's very very rad. 

Big fan of OPN although Garden & Age Of are less likely to get a play here than earlier stuff. I like the singles off this new one though and will definitely be in line for a copy.

I preordered the tape and the orange lp so I hope it is good lol. I always tend to get a bit obsessive about a new OPN album around the time it's released, but some if them stick with me better over time than others.

So far I am hopeful for this one, although I hope it doesn't go too much in the hyperpop direction tbh.

PS: We'll Take It is a banger

Bonus track for Japan is called 'Ambien1'.

video coming?

that would be a yes

lol R+7 reference

what if we kissed in the r plus seven room??

Magnificent. I grinned all 3:48. Danny boi is king.

video is meh but the track still fuckin bangs

As a huge opn fan who enjoys almost everything he puts out

This is not a very good video.

I like the track tho

Me 2, looking forward to the album

I love the track, which is part of the reason I think the video isn't great.

yes, pretty weak video compared to sticky drama or black snow...

Video is mediocre. I still don't understand how this track fits in with the description of the album posted a pages back. I'm hoping it will be a lot weirder. Also, as someone mentioned, OPN should stop with the auto-tune, trap style vocals. They absolutely suck. It's not the first time they've ruined a perfectly fine track. This was (by far) my main problem with Garden of Delete.

Yeh the 'singing' adds nothing for me either, it spoils the music.

Touching a few keys for a Weeknd track doesn't mean you can go all alt-pop on us nerds Dan, ya waz.

Yeah, track is pretty decent otherwise. But if there's gonna be a bunch of auto-tuned vocals on this, count me out.

I dunno, rift to me showed promise, but even back in the day, I respected rift, return, replica, but never loved it. that said, i should probably revisit almost 10 years later lol

BUT

when R plus seven dropped, DAMN. that was quite special indeed. nobody even today really tried to replicate that album, it was and still is so unique.

Expand  

classic Lopatin, I find the beginning of the track meh... up until 2:40. 2:40 to the end is a masterpiece.
