Bleep

Following high profile film scores for Good Time and Uncut Gems, Oneohtrix Point Never released the expansive Magic Oneohtrix Point Never album in 2020. Across 17 tracks it featured a number of collaborators and featured artists, displaying his various modes of production and was featured in our Albums of the Year. Here we find two highlights from the release, on the A side a reworked version of the closing track with Rosalía - her fragile and emotive vocals are suspended over Oneohtrix’s retro-futurist production, on display high in the mix and treated with increasing decaying auto-tune. The B side sees a more harmonious take on the collaboration with Cocteau Twins’ legend Elizabeth Fraser, calming the complex disorder found in the first half of the album version and focussing on the mellifluous conclusion. Fraser's glassy glossolalia tones scamper across the spectrum in an extra-terrestrial, other-worldly and timeless fashion that mirrors Oneohtrix unique production. Two more inspired collaborations to add to Oneohtrix Point Never's impressive list that also includes ANOHNI, A. G. Cook and Iggy Pop.
