About

Awarded Best Soundtrack at Cannes 2017, the latest album from OPN draws in a lineage of influences ranging from synth prog, new age, library music and IDM, all driven by Lopatin’s disquieting and alien approach to songcraft.

The soundtrack is closed with ‘The Pure and the Damned’, an original song composed by Lopatin for the closing scenes of the film, featuring a guest vocal and lyrics written by Iggy Pop.

‘Good Time’ is directed by Josh and Benny Safdie and stars Robert Pattinson (in a widely regarded career best performance) and Jennifer Jason Leigh. The hypnotic crime thriller follows Pattinson’s Connie in a twisted odyssey through the New York underworld in a desperate attempt to get his brother out of jail. – Warp Records

“Like the best of OPN’s work—and the best soundtrack work in general—the track is heavy with affect without ever telling its listeners exactly how to feel. Good Time invites emotional confusion along multiple vectors. Lopatin’s score opens fissures that let its beauty and ambivalences burrow deep under your skin.” – Pitchfork

“Too often, to say that music is a ‘soundtrack’ is to discount it – it is to press play and then go and commit your concentration to something else, to say that it is not fulfilling enough to engage with without some other element. By insisting on its purpose as soundtrack, Daniel Lopatin addresses that separation head-on. This defiance asserts Good Time as a record to listen to in the here and now, with or without its filmic accompaniment.” – Drowned in Sound
