Oneohtrix Point Never Announces New Album ‘Tranquilizer’ & Shares 3 Tracks

Producer Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) will release a new album, Tranquilizer, on November 17 through Warp Records. The LP is available in vinyl, CD and digital formats and previewed with the tracks “Lifeworld,” “For Residue” and “Bumpy.”

Tranquilizer follows OPN’s 2023 album, Again. Lopatin drew inspiration for the new record from two main sources “a routine visit to the dentist, lying beneath a fluorescent panel of blue skies and palm trees,” as per press materials, and, discovering “that a vast archive of 90s sample CDs had vanished from the Internet Archive, a moment that left Lopatin creatively charged.”

The press release further detailed Tranquilizer:

Drawing from those salvaged sounds, Tranquilizer conjures a sonic hallucination: ambient calm twisting into digital chaos; mundane textures giving way to emotional overload. It’s a record shaped by obscurity and obsolescence. Real and unreal blur. Samples melt into static. A door creaks open inside a dream. This is Oneohtrix Point Never at his most immersive, not looking back with nostalgia, but reframing lost sound as a vessel for new emotion.
