## Early years and Rifts
Lopatin began working as Oneohtrix Point Never in the mid-2000s while playing with the trio [Astronaut](https://www.edgepedia.org/astronaut) and working on another solo project, Infinity Window. After the limited debut *Betrayed in the Octagon*, he issued a prolific stream of releases, including the reflective *Russian Mind* and the comparatively bright and accessible *Zones Without People*, both from 2009. Late in 2009, No Fun Productions gathered these albums and selected tracks from cassette releases as the compilation *Rifts*.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/daniel-lopatin-mn0002476145)
The early recordings collected on *Rifts* are dim, insular pieces built from handmade cassette loops, percolating keyboard arpeggios played on an old Roland Juno-60 synthesizer Lopatin inherited from his father, and washes of ambience.[7](https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9228-oneohtrix-point-never-right-brain/)
## Returnal, Replica, and the move to Warp-era work
**Returnal (2010).** On the critically acclaimed Editions Mego release *Returnal*, Lopatin went further afield, incorporating noise as well as more accessible melodies. In retrospect he has said the album attracted a larger audience but felt too serious and emotionally one-note to represent who he wanted to be as a musician.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/daniel-lopatin-mn0002476145) • [7](https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9228-oneohtrix-point-never-right-brain/)
**Replica (2011).** *Replica* was a deliberate reaction: a foggy, loop-based album made over a few feverish days using micro-samples from old commercials, conceived almost as a game rather than a piece of personal expression. It was also his first album recorded in a professional studio.[7](https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9228-oneohtrix-point-never-right-brain/) • [2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/daniel-lopatin-mn0002476145) Released November 8, 2011 on Mexican Summer, it earned a Metascore of 80 based on 32 critic reviews, with 29 positive and 3 mixed and none negative; Tiny Mix Tapes gave it 100 and called it unlike anything else in Lopatin's discography.[3](https://www.metacritic.com/music/replica/oneohtrix-point-never) Pitchfork's review called it Lopatin's best work to date by far.[8](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16031-replica/)
**R Plus Seven (2013) and Garden of Delete (2015).** Lopatin wrote *R Plus Seven* loosely based on principles of tonal elements, text scripts, and software patches triggered by MIDI presets.[9](https://stereogum.com/1933687/oneohtrix-point-never-albums-from-worst-to-best/lists) *Garden of Delete* traded the vaporous textures of his early work for an overdriven style Pitchfork has described as "hypergrunge," drawing on an unexpected influence in '90s grunge.[10](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/oneohtrix-point-never-magic-oneohtrix-point-never/) • [9](https://stereogum.com/1933687/oneohtrix-point-never-albums-from-worst-to-best/lists)
**Age Of (2018).** Pitchfork describes *Age Of* as marked by almost incomprehensible world building and dizzyingly recombinant styles.[10](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/oneohtrix-point-never-magic-oneohtrix-point-never/)
## Magic Oneohtrix Point Never and Again
*Magic Oneohtrix Point Never* (2020) was Lopatin's first album since his *Uncut Gems* soundtrack and was created largely during the pandemic. Pitchfork characterized it less as a format change than an inflection point, an opportunity to take stock of where he had been and where he might go next. The album carries a co-executive producer credit for Abel Tesfaye, the Weeknd, who reached out to Lopatin after hearing his score for the [Safdie brothers](https://www.edgepedia.org/safdie-brothers)' 2017 film *Good Time*.[10](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/oneohtrix-point-never-magic-oneohtrix-point-never/)
*Again* (2023), released on Warp, is described by Pitchfork as Lopatin's least conceptual project, a nostalgic jam session with proggy synth passages and '90s alt-rock touches; Lopatin has described the record as an interrogation of his younger self and the roads he might have taken.[11](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/oneohtrix-point-never-again/)
## Tranquilizer and recent releases
*Tranquilizer* was released November 21, 2025 on Warp, composed and recorded on computers in spring and summer 2025 and produced by Daniel Lopatin and Nathan Salon; its tracks were rolled out singly in the weeks before release, from "For Residue" through "Rodl Glide" and "Waterfalls".[6](https://pointnever.com/) Boomkat's listing describes the album as Lopatin delineating "media decay," fabricating a hypnagogic archive of erased sample CDs from memory alone.[12](https://boomkat.com/artists/oneohtrix-point-never) On the critic-consensus aggregator Chorus, *Tranquilizer* is the highest-rated record in the discography at 84/100 across 7 reviews, with strong agreement.[5](https://chorus.reviews/index.php/artists/oneohtrix-point-never) An extended edition pairing a doubled-length "For Residue" with "Dim Stars" was scheduled for April 24, 2026, and a first vinyl issue of *Drawn And Quartered*, collecting tracks from the *Rifts* box set, is also listed for that date.[12](https://boomkat.com/artists/oneohtrix-point-never)
## Film scores and collaborations
Lopatin's scores include the award-winning *Good Time* (2017) and *Uncut Gems* (2019); *Good Time* won Best Soundtrack at Cannes.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/daniel-lopatin-mn0002476145) • [4](https://www.laphil.com/people/daniel-lopatin) The Los Angeles Philharmonic's profile counts fourteen critically acclaimed Oneohtrix Point Never albums, including *Tranquilizer*, and lists collaborations with [The Weeknd](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-weeknd), ANOHNI, James Blake, Charli XCX, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, and [Nine Inch Nails](https://www.edgepedia.org/nine-inch-nails).[4](https://www.laphil.com/people/daniel-lopatin) AllMusic notes he is equally comfortable working with [Iggy Pop](https://www.edgepedia.org/iggy-pop), DJ Earl, and Anohni.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/daniel-lopatin-mn0002476145)
Under his own name and in groups, Lopatin has also released collaborative material: *Instrumental Tourist* (2012) with Tim Hecker and *FRKWYS Vol. 7* (2011) with David Borden, James Ferraro, Sam Godin, and [Laurel Halo](https://www.edgepedia.org/laurel-halo).[13](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/artist/67796-daniel-lopatin/?type=lp) His soundtrack work extends to the Weeknd's film *Hurry Up Tomorrow*, whose score was composed by Tesfaye with Lopatin.[14](https://apnews.com/article/bf358e4edddfe96ffd04b2e125b3fda0)
