About This Item
Tranquilizer isn't the sound of sedation but resurfacing. Daniel Lopatin isn't condemning our need for escape, but exploring what happens after. The record maps a movement from weightless calm into something more grounded, the necessary cycle of withdrawal and return that keeps us sane in a world both overwhelming and mundane. We plummet from the watery bliss of InchLifeworldInch into the mournful melancholy of InchCherry BlueInch and spastic grooves of InchRodl Glide.Inch As always with OPN, the real collides with the unreal. Listen closely and you will hear the scrape of fingers on a fretboard, a stone sliding across a dungeon floor, the squeak of a door opening. His music has never been an abstract color field; it has weight, edges, shadows. Tranquilizer feels like falling out of a dream you can still touch. Album Tracks 1. For Residue 2. Bumpy 3.
