First Listen: Oneohtrix Point Never, 'R Plus Seven' : NPR: "That is not to say R Plus Seven is a dance music album—it is not—but that it is alive with vibrations from the dancefloor. It's Lopatin's most colourful record to date, almost delightful at points as well as delighted with itself. To say it's a curveball would be to miss a trick though. While form-wise his early albums skirted the drone and noise worlds, earning him hyperbolic descriptors like "synth lord," his approach has always been about excavation. 2011's Replica was concerned with memory and media, with how the two obstruct and abstract one another. For R Plus Seven, Lopatin's debut album on new home Warp Records out Oct. 1, Lopatin focuses in on the act of listening itself."
