After years spent diving deep into film scores and collaborations, Daniel Lopatin is shifting gears to focus on his own universe again, one inspired by his recent discovery of a stash of ’90s commercial-music sample CDs. Ahead of the album, Tranquilizer, he’s already shared several tracks: “For Residue,” “Bumpy,” “Lifeworld,” and “Measuring Ruins.” Now, “Cherry Blue” joins the lineup, continuing to shape the dreamy, slightly surreal soundscape that defines his new era.
“Cherry Blue” carries that signature bittersweet digital nostalgia Lopatin does so well. The track hums with gentle drones and layered pulses. It’s calm, hypnotic, and just a little strange, like the foggy clarity that hits when you’re too tired to sleep but somehow still alert.
The single also comes with a beautifully textured visual companion by French artist Pol Taburet, marking his first foray into music video direction. And if you’re based in Madrid like us, you’re in luck: Oneohtrix Point Never will be performing at Teatro Barceló on November 7, just ahead of the album’s release.
