Long Road Home
Oneohtrix Point Never leans hard into the vocals on our highlighted track “Long Road Home.”
The lyrical contributions, fed through a zillion chorus effects, form the backbone of the song. Shades of Aphex Twin’s “Milkman” with philthier vox FX. The melody is plucked by electronic cellos and violins. The entire production feels like a funk-classical ovum inseminated by Kraftwerk and midwives by Daft Punk.
Not for everyone, but more accessible than the uninitiated might think. No wonder Daniel Lopatin gets tapped for soundtracks so often – his sounds are powerful, if a little scary, and a spoonful of pretty visuals helps the medicine go down.
Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
The first 30 seconds sound like an Aphex Twin track to be honest.
