Daniel Lopatin : Marty Supreme Soundtrack

I was always kind of got bent out of shape when a period movie would use contemporary music for it’s soundtrack. Or even if it was a movie that took place in the 30s and they used music from the 60s or 70s just seemed off-putting to me. It distracted me from the movie itself. […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Tranquilizer

Discovering the musical world of Daniel Lopatin known as Oneohtrix Point Never was a revelation. Much like stumbling across Boards of Canada, you feel like you’re coming across something completely singular and unique. There was nothing quite like that music before it. There were bits and pieces of 80s new age and drone music -as […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Again

Daniel Lopatin has had quite the creative and artistic arc with his electronic project Oneohtrix Point Never. From the psychedelic beginnings of drone-heavy albums like Betrayed In The Octagon, Russian Mind, and Returnal; to experimenting with grander scopes on R Plus Seven, Garden of Delete, and his most recent record Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. Lopatin […]

KGB Nights

The early work of Oneohtrix Point Never just connects to me, man. His stoner, psychedelic ambient drones and wonky electronica from the early 2000’s to 2009 were assembled as a compilation called Rifts, which took albums Betrayed In The Octagon, Zones Without People, Drawn and Quartered, The Fall Into Time, and Russian Mind into one […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Magic Oneohtrix Point Never

Daniel Lopatin has been world building as Oneohtrix Point Never for over a decade now. His albums started as drone and ambient vibe fests that brought to mind bleak science fiction and dystopian landscapes. Druggy, psychedelic musical experiments with old, battered synths, samplers, looping stations, and guitar pedals. As ramshackle as that sounds, those early […]

Daniel Lopatin : Uncut Gems S/T

I think the Safdie Brothers have found the perfect musical partner in Daniel Lopatin. His anxiety-driven score for their 2017 film Good Time was the perfect mix of trippy electronics and caffeinated jams. It felt perfectly tuned for the high anxieties Robert Pattinson dealt with during one long night in New York City. The working […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Age Of

Daniel Lopatin’s musical worlds are labyrinthine to say the least. A Oneohtrix Point Never record is like some vast, crystalline museum where you bask in the beauty of art, ancient objects, and philosophies that you don’t quite understand but they entrance you nonetheless. Lopatin curates walks through his psyche with each successive record; each one […]

Age Of….OPN

The first I really let Oneohtrix Point Never into my brain was after I’d discovered anxiety. Panic had been just under the surface for years with me, but it finally came to a head about 4 years ago. This was also around the same time I bought R Plus Seven. I was pulled into its […]

Favorite Albums Of The Year(So Far) : Oneohtrix Point Never’s ‘Good Time’ S/T

I came to Oneohtrix Point Never around 3 years ago. I think I’d avoided them because Pitchfork was telling me that I should love them. Of course I’m going to go against that urge to listen and absolutely NOT take advice from a bunch of pretentious music critics catering to the “what’s happening now” crowd. […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Good Time Soundtrack

If you told me that Daniel Lopatin was actually from another planet or dimension that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. The music he creates as Oneohtrix Point Never is otherworldly electronic in nature. It’s progressed from drone-y ambient on his debut Betrayed In The Octagon to the more deep space pop ambitions of 2015s Garden […]
