Take ‘Device Control’, for example, the bizarre and wonderful Wolfgang Tillmans song that bookends the visual album: “With this Apple appliance you can capture live video”, Tillmans says, before refraining, “Livestream your life”. In asking to use Tillmans’ track, it’s apparent that the clash between immediacy and actually living your life is seemingly very much on Ocean’s mind – something that’s also implicit in how Endless plays out as a whole. There are points where Ocean sits and checks his phone, such as during ‘U-N-I-T-Y’, and it feels frustrating – rude almost, that he should be doing this rather than continuing with his hugely anticipated project. He climbs the staircase all-too briefly before it cuts to him hanging around the warehouse again (this time to Tillman’s hugely surreal tune).
