“Nightmare Paint” video still (dir. Andrew Norman Wilson)



Oneohtrix Point Never, AKA Daniel Lopatin, has just shared an Andrew Norman Wilson-directed video for “Nightmare Paint” from his recently released masterstroke Again. The disorienting visual portrays a cryptic disassembly line of sorts, where a set of laser-fitted eyes efficiently melts one CD after another until disaster strikes. The visual arrives on the cusp of today’s broadcast of the final episode of Lopatin’s NTS-hosted music and talk show Cool ProtrusionsThe final blowout episode includes guest appearances from Soccer Mommy, BATTLES, Greg Davis, and Weyes Blood and airs on NTS at 5pm NY / 10pm UK / 2pm LA.

The new visual arrives on the heels of a publicly shared creative brief for an as-yet-unrealised “Memories of Music” video, a collaboration with Freeka Tet that now exists as a downloadable zip file of guide images, a treatment for the video, different mixes of the song, an animatic of the planned clip, and more in the hopes that it will inspire fans to create their own versions. More recently Lopatin contributed as executive producer to John Medeski’s 52-track soundtrack for The Curse, the new Showtime television series from frequent OPN collaborator Benny Safdie, and Nathan Fielder.

Again marks Lopatin’s most expansive work to date. The 13-track album, featuring contributions from such wide ranging collaborators as Robert Ames, Lee Ranaldo, Jim O’Rourke, Xiu Xiu, lovelivescrushing, and more is an imagined collaboration between Lopatin’s current and younger selves, a rumination on what's remembered and what’s forgotten from the perspective of a seasoned artist. The eagerly anticipated live interpretation of Again, set to debut Spring 2024 with shows spanning the US, Europe and Asia, promises turn the concept of an OPN performance on its head with the acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist Freeka Tet on board as a creative director.
