Toys 2

See this content in the original post

There’s a whole series of these KCRW Session recordings and they’re absolute fire. Also, love the hot album design. Is it just Warp Records turning these sessions into vinyl for their artist or is it happening with other records? Maybe it’s just Warp Records because they have another entry in the same series, with the same aesthetic, except it’s Aphex Twin doing a Peel Session.

Oneohtrix Point Never is at the peak of his powers, doing it LIVE.

Our highlighted track “Toys 2” is a squirmbly-birmbly, fugue-azi dusk crawler. Daniel Lopatin must listen to the classics of classical music because there is an elevated majesty that’s hard to find outside of the greats: a Mozart, a Brahms, a Mahler, and more. He finds boundless terrain to explore within 6:52. The sense of urgent discovery is a palpable quality of the music, but not the dumb sort that ends up in car and crypto commercials.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
