Oneohtrix Point Never's New LP 'Age Of' (Warp) Out Today

Today, Oneohtrix Point Never releases 'Age Of' (Warp), the "brilliant new album" (The Ringer) that Stereogum has called "truly staggering" and The FADER has deemed "an absolute necessary front to back listen." It's Daniel Lopatin's most ambitious, thoroughly composed work to date under the moniker, described as "remarkably accessible yet still resolutely avant-garde work" (The AV Club).

Read an in-depth profile on Oneohtrix Point Never and 'Age Of' from Jon Pareles at The New York Times.

And watch the video for Oneohtrix Point Never's "Black Snow," Lopatin's directorial debut that was described "a head-spinning, cyborg nightmare" by Pitchfork.

The release comes just a week after three sold-out Park Avenue Armory performances of Oneohtrix Point Never's theatrical, medium-spanning installation and four-part song cycle MYRIAD, which debuted as part of Red Bull Music Festival New York. MYRIAD received raves from the New York Times, ARTNews, Resident Advisor and more. The performances featured OPN's first-ever live ensemble, guest spots from Kelsey Lu and Prurient, hanging sculpture, cowboy hat-wearing dancers, an inflatable black mass, and an array of otherworldly animations.

Oneohtrix Point Never is preparing for upcoming performances at Primavera and London's Barbican (sold out), more dates coming soon.

Praise for 'Age Of' and MYRIAD
"The music didn't have to explain itself. It billowed and throbbed, tinkled and crashed, swooped and pealed around the grand space. No narrative, no matter how cosmic, could match the sound." - The New York Times, on MYRIAD

"Everything you could hope for from an OPN record, but somehow on a much larger, grander scale...an absolute necessary front to back listen." -- The FADER, on 'Age Of'

"Paranoid and beautiful - filled with dread, anxiety, and a fractured take on rock mythology as filtered through prog, smooth jazz, and noise music." - Vulture, on 'Age Of'

"Truly staggering...['Age Of'] is so beautiful and strange and off-kilter and absorbing - a lovely and insular personal pop album, warped beyond all recognition." - Stereogum

"Excellent...remarkably accessible yet still resolutely avant-garde work" - The A.V. Club

"Breaks new ground...the sound of an internet addict sifting through the digital ruins, part of a culture jamming legacy for future generations, should they exist." - Resident Advisor, on 'Age Of'

"Oneohtrix Point Never's moment is here... a brilliant new album" - The Ringer
