Despite the release of a Record Store Day 12-inch and some live gigs, it seemed to be a pretty quiet year for Daniel Lopatin's Oneohtrix Point Never project. Thankfully, he's just knocked out a couple circuit board-scorching loosies to gift us just ahead of the holidays.
First up is "Rush," a loop-heavy leftover from last year's R Plus Seven whose frizz-fried front-end of chimes and blips eventually breaks down into a calming, new age funk pattern of faux-choir and pizzicato synth strings.
"Bubs" is a collaboration with A.G. Cook that jumps all over the place with twist-and-turn synth damage, siren sounds and slivers of chamber pop arrangements. The Christmas bells, whether synthetic or real, make the busy cut feel oddly appropriate for the season.
You'll find both tracks to stream or download via the SoundCloud player below.
