Xeno & Oaklander\u00a0<\/strong>return with a new single, Magic of the Manifold<\/em>, just after their brilliant performance in NYC at TV Eye and ahead of their European tour next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The synth pop \/ minimal electronics duo of\u00a0Liz <\/strong>Wendelbo\u00a0and\u00a0Sean McBride\u00a0(of Martial Canterel),\u00a0Xeno & <\/strong>Oaklander\u00a0<\/strong>are known for their mastery of clever song craft, dynamic sound design, and expansive world building.\u00a0 They are staples of Brooklyn, NY’s analog synth community, helping drive the revival of dark dance and synth wave in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic of the Manifold<\/em> marks\u00a0their first new music since 2021’s album\u00a0\u2018Vi\/deo<\/a>,\u2019 and is moody, driving dance pop\u2014\u00a0a duet that feels equally at home in the caverns of cyberspace or an underground night club. Speaking on the single, they offer:\u00a0“In ‘Magic of the Manifold,’ we created hard hitting drums set against romantic vocals and analog synth harmonies: we muse over the enchantment of a fictitious Mercury cavern where fumes and steam alter the mind and spark the imagination.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
