Oneohtrix Point Never's score for Marty Supreme transforms '80s synth textures into a theatrical, time-drenched, character-like sonic landscape.
A decade and a half ago, Daniel Lopatin shelled out what might be the best hundred bucks he ever spent. On the internet, he'd come across a guy selling bootleg DVD compilations of decades-old TV commercials culled from Saturday-morning cartoons, daytime soaps, and late-night cable: Wrigley's spearmint gum, Hershey's chocolate bars, Heinz Alphagetti. Dated, kitschy stuff, thick with chintzy synths and VHS buzz.
