Chrome Country
The closing track of R Plus Seven, the second most played song in Lopatin's live sets.
Oneohtrix Point Never, from R Plus Seven (2013)
"Chrome Country" is the tenth and last track of R Plus Seven, 5:15 by Wikipedia and 5:05 by MusicBrainz, which also lists the title at 5:04 on The Art of Listening, Vol. 1 and 5:05 on A Mix for Monorail Music. Lopatin composed it; Lopatin and Paul Corley produced. We found no comment from him on the song itself. In the Quietus interview, the interviewer calls its vocals almost corny but twisted, and Lopatin answers about vocals in general; on presets he said a diva house organ preset is gonna want to be played a certain way, and in a 2015 DMY interview he spoke of the directness and musculature in the grain of the organ's sound, with DMY naming this closer as the organ-driven one. Consequence's Sasha Geffen heard tension settle into sad streaks of fake strings and childlike vocal burbles, then late organ like the end of a High Mass, probably just a computer trying to sound like one; mxdwn called it one of the album's true standout moments.
There is no single or official video for it. Setlist.fm lists it as his second most played song, 35 setlists behind "Mutant Standard" (40), and lists plays on April 18, 2026 at the Dampfzentrale in Bern and May 7, 2026 at the Salle Pleyel in Paris; at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn the encore ended with it, after a Replica variation, "Where Does Time Go" and "Mutant Standard", per The Needle Drop. A search snippet says WhoSampled lists an Enya "Only Time" sample, which we could not verify. We found no covers and could not tell which version our upload is.
