With a focus on the low-end (headphone listening is suggested) the OPLP sees Glenday follow his intuition, removing any musical guardrails and embracing an open, emotional and iterative musical practice.

"My intention with OPLP was to create something lush, melancholic and dense that I could lose myself in," says Glenday. "I’ve always listened to a lot of ambient and instrumental music and spent a long time experimenting with different approaches and mindsets for making my own music."

OPLP is a mix of organic and synthetic sounds, with Glenday using synthesizers, rhodes piano, mallets, tape loops and field recordings. "It is definitely an ambient album but I sort of wanted to avoid making something clean and clinical that leans on the utopian tropes of ambient music. As a result, there are rougher sounds and small moments of abruptness that are more realistic and relatable. I would totally zone out while working on these songs."

Glenday reflects "I’m really happy to have OPLP finished. Normally I’m straight on to the next thing but I’m enjoying just sitting with this, reflecting on it and figuring out how I want to approach this music next. I’m also grateful for Chihei Hatakeyama’s work on mastering the record. He is a great musician and engineer and took it to another level."
