Oneohtrix Point Never has a new EP all set for release on June 12, and the concept is Replica remixes/reconstructions involving Lopatin’s own dream team of collaborators. COOL! It seems like whenever a band blows up and releases a remix EP, their list of esoteric influences shrinks down to a digestible pack of MAJOR artists and lamer labelmates, so we’re happy to report that Beck, Jack White, Damon Albarn, James Murphy, and Björk have nothing to do with the four tracks making up Dog in the Fog - Replica Collaborations & Remixes.
Instead, Lopatin called on TMT’s favorite shape-shifting troubadour Richard Youngs and techno legend Surgeon to provide remixes of “Nassau” and “Remember,” respectively. AND THAT’S JUST THE “B-SIDE” LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Starting things off are two reworkings of Replica’s title track, one featuring King Midas Sound’s Roger Robinson as re-edited by OPN himself, and another featuring fellow vocal obsessive Limpe Fuchs as re-edited by Matmos! Shit… nobody tell Björk!! Dog in the Fog will be released digitally via Software; no word yet on a physical release. Listen to the Matmos collab here and check out some new European dates below the tracklist. And then clip your fingernails or something, you look threatening today.
