Daniel Lopatin, better known as Oneohtrix Point Never, has officially announced his next album Tranquilizer, out digitally on November 17 via Warp, with physical editions arriving November 21. And to make the wait a little easier, he’s already shared the first three songs from the project: “For Residue,” “Bumpy,” and “Lifeworld.”
“It’s a record shaped by commercial audio construction kits from a bygone era—an index of cliches turned inside out,” Lopatin explains. “It is a return to a process-oriented form of music making for me that I felt best evoked a certain kind of madness and ennui in the heart of culture today.”
The new LP follows 2023’s Again and arrives alongside his recent scoring work for the upcoming film Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, but Tranquilizer feels like a very personal statement. Built from sonic fragments that recall lost ‘90s archives, the record leans into that strange space where nostalgia and unease overlap.
These first three previews (of 15 tracks in total) are already setting the tone, shifting from misty and breathy textures to jittery bursts of percussion and warped, beat-driven layers. You can dive into “For Residue,” “Bumpy,” and “Lifeworld” now, the latter coming with a self-directed video.
