Oneohtrix Point Never - Tranquilizer (Vinyl)
Tranquilizer isn’t the sound of sedation but resurfacing. Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, isn’t condemning our need for escape but, rather, exploring what happens after. The record maps a movement from weightless calm into something more grounded — not a hero’s journey, but 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 'Lifeworld' into the mournful melancholy of 'Cherry Blue' and spastic grooves of 'Rodl Glide.' As always with Oneohtrix Point Never, 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. If R Plus Seven was all crystalline arpeggiators and Garden of Delete was a feverish upchuck of gurgling synths, Tranquilizer feels like falling out of a dream you can still touch.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
