Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
Destructive and soul-shattering, Oneohtrix Point Never’s Halloween release is a truly terrifying ordeal in what surely couldn’t have come from anything other than a disturbed individual. Roughly, parts of ‘Repilica’ sound as follows: tape-noise set to infinitely regress amidst cascading towers of classical piano, icy horns deflecting through a misty and murky human-like breath, wild synthesised white noise, occasionally tribal flute-like representations, an uncomfortable and detached feeling of claustrophobia, ritualistic keyboard choirs of jazz-notes and polyrhythmic delay whirs. Razor sharp panned buzzes, searing whistles of flying objects, babies crying and broken arcade game jingles. When songs are pinned together, its only by a single instrument, often piano, atonal, unpatterned and withering away in mournfully emotive declines. Pre-order vinyl at Mexican Summer. First 1000 will press white - nice.
