Oneohtrix Point Never 'Age Of'

‘Age Of’ is one of Oneohtrix Point Never’s most immersive and compositionally ambitious records to date. Released in 2018 via Warp Records, it sees Daniel Lopatin folding centuries of musical reference into a singular, surreal vision—melding early music, baroque pop, country ballads, and glitch-heavy electronics. The result is a strange, often beautiful collage that defies categorization while feeling emotionally immediate.

More structured than previous efforts yet no less experimental, ‘Age Of’ introduces vocals more prominently, layered with digital processing and uncanny tone shifts. Classical instruments like harpsichord and woodwinds sit alongside synthetic chaos and rhythmic deconstruction, blurring the line between old-world ceremony and future collapse. The album builds an immersive world that is eerie and intimate, fractured yet melodic. With ‘Age Of’, Oneohtrix Point Never offers a dense and dazzling reflection on memory, decay, and our post-everything musical landscape.
