Ambient musician Oneohtrix Point Never releases demo track “Rubio”

January 10, 2012

If the hard-rhyming, not-even-in-America-playing Jonas Valanciunas can inspire a song, the Human YouTube Highlight Clip is certainly fit material for crooning. Sort of, anyway. Brooklyn-based electronica performer Oneohtrix Point Never is working on a musical homage to La Pistola, this week releasing a three-minute long tune appropriately entitled “Rubio” on Soundcloud.

If you ask BiE, this track may be excellent ambient, but isn’t it far too Tangerine Dreamy for a high-energy mover and shaker such as Rubio? Just like Ricky himself, BiE keeps waiting for “Rubio” to bust out from the restraints of slow tempo to lead a fast break, perhaps infusing some trickery along the way. (Track runs below.)
