Oneohtrix Point Never, AKA Daniel Lopatin, has announced his new album Again, set for release September 29 via Warp. In Lopatins words the album is in part “a speculative autobiography,” a transmission, a spellbound backwash of digital languages and sonic paranoias, whats remembered and whats forgotten, all presented in OPNs trademark melodic touch. Much like 2015s Garden of Delete, Again germinated as a collaboration between Lopatins current and younger selves— this time, a meditation on his musical identity during young adulthood from the perspective of middle age. From there, Lopatin decoupled from the concept, and allowed the album to grow into a illogical period piece where memory and fantasy converge to form something entirely new. The album imagines what might have been, as the musician made his music through space and time. Which decisions foreclosed some realities? What might those other worlds have sounded like?
