XENO & OAKLANDER

Xeno & Oaklander are a minimal electronics / synth pop duo (Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride of Martial Canterel) based in Brooklyn, New York. As artists, they have been deeply involved in the analog synth community since 2004 (the release of their debut Vigils LP on Xanten), and have helped promote and inspire the revival of synth wave in the US and throughout the world through their extensive touring and prolific output. Following their debut on Xanten, they released the Sentinelle and Sets & Lights albums on Wierd before signing on to Ghostly International, where they unveiled their widely acclaimed albums Par Avion and Topiary, introducing their innovative mastery of analog synth production to a wider audience.  During the Ghostly album sessions, the duo also recorded Movements and Movements 2 commissioned by the National Center for the Arts, Grenoble, and Ecole du Magasin: an inspirational 35 minute piece recorded live and inspired by travel in space and time.
Xeno & Oaklander record their songs and film scores in their Brooklyn studio and are known for their commitment to recording on and performing on analogue synthesizers exclusively. They perform both at art institutions and music venues worldwide, and have performed at SF Moma, PS1 Warm Up, Miami Art Basel, Kunsthalle Zürich & the New Museum NY with sold out shows at Echoplex LA, Elsewhere NY & El Club Detroit. On Hypnos the duo leveraged the talents of visual artist and live sound engineer Egan Frantz to mix the album. It’s a touch that adds both punch and balance, allowing their inherent conceptual voices to converge into a collage with defined edges and warm, synapses of frequency and beat.

AUTOMELODI

“Formed in 2006, Automelodi is the project of acclaimed songwriter/producer Xavier Paradis. Blending 80’s European synthpop, post-punk, and the literary flair of French icons like Serge Gainsbourg, Automelodi delivers captivating, French-language songs that incorporate elements from earlier and later eras, creating a sound that’s both timeless and rooted in a distinct aesthetic. After successful tours throughout Europe and Latin America last year, Automelodi is returning to the US to play at Substance and Sanctum festivals, as well as the Cold Hearted and Dark Disco festivals in Europe, along with a few more select dates.”
