Oneohtrix Point Never – Again (2xLP)

Daniel Lopatin is a Brooklyn-based musician, composer, and Mercury Prize nominated producer who records and performs as Oneohtrix Point Never. Again is his tenth album.

In Lopatin’s words, 'Again' is in part “a speculative autobiography,” a transmission, a spellbound backwash of digital languages and sonic paranoias, what’s remembered and what’s forgotten, all presented in OPN’s trademark melodic touch.

Lopatin toured with Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden in 2014, and he became noted for his collaborations. Pairings and partnerships read like a litany of the most fascinating artists this side (or that side) of the ‘10s: ANHONI, James Blake, David Byrne, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tim Hecker, Eli Keszler, Weyes Blood, Kelsey Lu, Arca. He was musical director for the halftime show at Superbowl LV, co-produced The Weeknd’s latest album Dawn FM; scored films by Sofia Coppola (The Bling Ring, 2013), the Safdie Brothers in Good Time (2017), and, famously, the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler-fronted Uncut Gems (2019) – an OST that summoned one of the most intensely compulsive moods ever committed to screen. He seems to forecast the future – or what will be future-thinking – with scary reliability.
