Don't let the nihilistic noise at the start of Oneohrtix Point Never's fourth album fool you: once the dust settles and the speaker-stabbing effects subside, Returnal segues into a series of dream sequences and becomes downright beautiful. While most of Daniel Lopatin's journey is dominated by cumulus chords and weightless synth waves, the ghosts in his machines escape ever-so-briefly during the title track, suggesting what Fever Ray would sound like if she read Philip K. Dick novels as religiously as she watched David Lynch movies. Talk about an album that harnesses the power of your headphones from liftoff to landing.
