Oneohtrix Point Never will release Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, a new album on Warp.
Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, the name a reference to a misheard play on words of Boston’s Magic 106.7, is a nostalgic body of work that collages maximalist pop with atmospheric glitter, we’re told. Across 17 tracks, Oneohtrix Point Never, real name Daniel Lopatin, synthesizes elements of his previous material to craft a cohesive humanistic work, the British label says.
The album’s structure loosely summons the broadcasting logic of radio day parts, starting in the morning and ending overnight, latticed together with kaleidoscopic, twitchy transformations.
Across the album, Lopatin even collages archival recordings of various American FM stations’ “format flips,” in which DJ sign-offs collide with advertisements and self-help mantras to form darkly humorous reflections on American music culture.
Accompanying the announcement, Lopatin has shared the Drive Time Suite of “Cross Talk I,” “Auto & Allo,” and “Long Road Home,” which includes vocals by Caroline Polachek.
At the end of 2019, Lopatin soundtracked the Safdie Brothers’ noir thriller “Uncut Gems.” His last studio album, Age Of, came out on Warp in 2018.
