Daniel Lopatin will release his upcoming Oneohtrix Point Never album, Tranquilizer, later this month, and, today, he’s previewing the LP with a new song. “Cherry Blue” comes with a music video by Pol Taburet, marking the French artist’s first-ever foray into the medium. The painter incorporates surreal imagery in the short film to signify the gaps between life and death, body and spirit, and decay and renewal. Check it out below.
Tranquilizer is out digitally on November 17 and physically on November 21 via Warp. “Cherry Blue” is the fifth preview of the album, following “For Residue,” “Bumpy,” “Lifeworld,” and “Measuring Ruins.” The follow-up to 2023’s Oneohtrix Point Never album Again was “shaped by commercial audio construction kits from a bygone era—an index of cliches turned inside out,” according to Lopatin.
Beyond his Oneohtrix Point Never moniker, Lopatin also scored the new Josh Safdie film Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, the Creator, and Abel Ferrara. That movie screens in U.S. theaters starting on December 25. He previously worked with the Safdie Brothers on their movies Good Time, for which Lopatin won the Soundtrack Award at Cannes Film Festival, and Uncut Gems.
