Oneohtrix Point Never Teams Up with Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser on New Single

The legendary vocalist appears on a re-worked version of OPN's "Tales from the Trash Stratum"

BY Kaelen BellPublished Sep 13, 2021

Oneohtrix Point Never has announced an expanded Blu-ray edition of 2020's self-titled album, out October 29 on Warp. And with the announcement comes a new version of "Tales from the Trash Stratum" featuring legendary Cocteau Twins vocalist Elizabeth Fraser.
 
Fraser's vocals are understated and fantastical, and they lend the track a gentle magic that isn't really present in the stuttering original.  
 
The singer, who's been (accurately) described as "the voice of God" has reappeared several times in the decades since Cocteau Twins broke up, including on several soundtracks, a tour with Massive Attack between 2018 and 2019 and an appearance on Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi's debut solo album in 2020.
 
The Blu-Ray edition of Magic Oneohtrix Point Never features four bonus tracks — including the previously released version of "Nothing's Special" featuring Rosalía — and a whopping sixteen official music videos, collected from across OPN's catalogue.
 
Check out Fraser's contributions to "Tales From the Trash Stratum" below.
