This week on Cultureteca, complex multimedia album announcements led by Oneohtrix Point Never and jolting EPs by FKA twigs and Panda Bear;\u00a0film and architecture viewed through Interiors magazine; the continuing brilliance of NXT’s female wrestlers, who starred last night in Brooklyn; and the Perseids meteor shower reaches its finale.<\/p>\n

Oneohtrix Point Never’s G.O.D. and the Week’s Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a strong week or so for significant\u00a0album announcements and the surprise release of new EPs. The most elaborate announcement came courtesy of Oneohtrix Point Never. On Tuesday morning, the electronic artist – whose last album was\u00a02013’s starkly beautiful\u00a0R Plus Seven<\/em><\/a>\u00a0– uploaded to his\u00a0website a PDF addressed ‘To the fans’<\/a>. The message depicts the artist’s relationship with an individual named Ezra, a humanoid alien ‘stuck i an infinite loop of molten puberty’. It leads to a questionnaire purportedly posted by the alien on his blog,\u00a0which is\u00a0entitled ‘Kaossed’<\/a>, with posts backdated to 1994.<\/p>\n

The blog features articles\u00a0on a ‘hypergrunge’ band known as Kaoss Edge, a recapitulation of a 1998 visit to ‘MorphoFest’, an especially early review of R Plus Seven<\/em>, original poetry, the art of Lucio Fontana, and most recently an interview with Oneohtrix Point Never. Asked by Ezra about new material, Oneohtrix Point Never responds:<\/p>\n

‘The record is finished. I’ve spent most of the summer thinking about how I want to present it. I started writing in January, and wrapped up in July. It’ll be out in November. It’s called Garden of Delete or G.O.D. for short. The R thing is over.’\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Garden of Delete<\/em> was subsequently confirmed for release on 13 November<\/a>. It will feature the tracks\u00a0‘Sticky Drama’, ‘Ezra’, ‘I Bite Through It’, ‘Animals’, and ‘Mutant Standard’. At the same time Oneohtrix posted on Vimeo a brief loop with the title ‘Flame’; while on YouTube a piece appeared under the Kaoss Edge monicker, called\u00a0‘Organ Noire\/Daddyflies’:<\/p>\n
