Video Kiddos 2020 #2: Oneohtrix Point Never "Lost But Never Alone"

Mom and Dad say, "The green hair. Why'd you do it son?" Son says, "cause Fuck you that's why." Mom and Dad say, "well that's just your opinion son." Son responds with a shred solo on grandma's Iron Maiden guitar.

Josh Safdie says: “Nostalgia is both warming and deeply depressing. It’s a love/hate relationship. Emotions themselves are haunting. ‘LBNA’ is a haunted piece of surfing — a screen-capture of our desire to pull meaning from the past at all times and the triumph of breaking through it with something else. When the pandemic hit, Dan and I sat around sharing airchecks from mid-level radio dials from yesteryear. Cut up and edited so as to evade copyright problems playing entire songs. The results are these 40 min streams of time captured with snippets of radio-songs. Aptly, one station in particular was known as "Beautiful Music." As the album took shape and I’d hear pieces of tracks, cut ups a la Steve Reich, the ghosts of upper and lower dial radio started to haunt me, I loved the feeling. I love the album and this song in particular fills me with a deep sense of sadness, angst, loneliness, creativity and of course triumph. We’re all lost but never alone.”
