Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) has won the Soundtrack Award at Cannes Film Festival 2017. He was honored for his original score for Good Time, a new crime thriller directed by Josh and Benny Safdie. The film stars Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Lopatin beat out Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, Jed Kurzel, and Ibrahim Maalouf for the award. He joins former winners Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Cliff Martinez, Howard Shore, Jim Jarmusch’s band SQÜRL, Lim Giong, and more. Lopatin’s score features a collaborative song with Iggy Pop called “The Pure and the Damned,” which can be heard in the film’s trailer below. Good Time hits theaters August 11.
Oneohtrix Point Never’s last release was 2015’s Garden of Delete. He and David Byrne are reportedly working on new music together.
