Tranquilizer will be released digitally on November 17 and physically on November 21 via Warp Records. The album repurposes salvaged '90s-era sample CD sounds, recreated and re-contextualized to comment on past and future audio cultures. The record employs commercial audio construction kits from a bygone era, turning clichés inside out and returning to process-oriented music making that evokes madness and ennui in contemporary culture. Three singles — "Lifeworld," "For Residue," and "Bumpy" — preview the album, offering a trippy, nostalgic and existential video collage, an ominous percussion-less soundscape, and lush, dream-like synth textures respectively. Pre-orders are available, and recent projects include executive-producing a Showtime series score, contributing to The Weeknd's 2025 album, and composing the score for Marty Supreme.
""It's a record shaped by commercial audio construction kits from a bygone era - an index of cliches turned inside out. It is a return to a process-oriented form of music making for me that I felt best evoked a certain kind of madness and ennui in the heart of culture today.""
""As a preview for Tranquilizer, Oneohtrix Point Never has revealed not one, but three singles. "Lifeworld" arrives with a trippy music video featuring a collage of short clips that evoke both nostalgia and existentialism; "For Residue" features an ominous, percussion-less soundscape that is equally jarring as it is comforting; and "Bumpy" brings lush synths, chimes, and other ethereal notes to its dream-like composition. Stream all three tracks below.""
