Oneohtrix Point Never Lights up Brooklyn With Visually Dazzling Show: Concert Review
Oneohtrix Point Never delivered a musically and visually dazzling concert at Brooklyn's Paramount Theater.
The answer, of course, is to serve up not just exciting music but visuals as well, and at a packed Paramount Theater in Brooklyn on Friday, as usual, Oneohtrix Point Never (aka Daniel Lopatin) delivered. For the main attraction, OPN’s ricocheting electronic textures and beats were backed by a combination of mind-warping visuals and live puppetry on a screen behind the performers that at times was comically meta: A recurring element was a remarkably accurate scale model of a DJ/producer behind decks that distinctly resembled OPN’s — a highlight of that segment was when a hand reached in and removed the head from the DJ/producer and replaced it with one of either a bug or some kind of gas mask. Later in the show, a shot of rubber hands playing a fake guitar was soon accompanied by the actual face of collaborator Kurt Vile, who came out onstage afterward and gave Lopatin a hug.
