Xeno & Oaklander Announce New LP 'Vi/deo', Stream "Infinite Sadness"

Brooklyn's minimal/electronic/synth wave duo Xeno & Oaklander (aka Miss Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride) have announced the release of their seventh studio album 'Vi/deo'.

The follow-up to 2019's  Hypnos, will be out on October 22nd via Dais Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Vi/deo further distills their iconic noir synth pop into a streamlined suite of gleaming, graceful retrofuturism. Inspired by ideas of synesthesia, scent, star worship, and obsolescent technologies, the duo of Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride began conceiving the blueprint of Vi/deo while sequestered at their Southern Connecticut home studio during the pandemic. 

The context of isolation, streaming, and remote dreaming seeped into their chemistry, manifesting as both homage to and meditation on a certain cinematic strain of technicolor fantasy: the screen as stage, distance disguised as intimacy, where tragedy and glamor crossfade into one.

Opening with the precision synthetic melancholy of “Infinite Sadness,” the album marks a peak fluidity between the pair’s fusion of analog electronics and poetic melody, both refined and oblique, classic but contemporary. 

Vi/deo captures the bittersweet beauty of youth and utopias, the wistful transformation from miracle to memory, where love turns unreal and music becomes myth: “Sounds of the underground / Will echo in future days / Feelings of misery / Will fade into the haze

Check out the album's tracklist and watch a lyric video for "Infinite Sadness", below.
