Description
2025, 2×12″ LP, Warp Records.
Oneohtrix Point Never puts on his ambient dub raincoat and more, administering Tranquilizer, where binarual textures reach a disquieting serenity before megabyte breakdown. Teased by a quiet, dub-inducted title track – then the immeasurable drone optics of ‘Measuring Ruins’ and the Edmund Husserl referencing ‘Lifeworld’ – Daniel Lopatin seems to have taken a breather from the sonic fiction and worldbuilding approaches of his prior albums, marking a return to voiceless, but impure texture. The music is unmistakably visual and de-individualised, evoking the feel of world processes observed in hyperlapse, at the scale of aeons.
