Die amerikanischen Synthie-Helden Xeno & Oasklander bringen Ende Oktober ihr siebtes Full Lenght-Album bei Dais Records heraus. “Vi/deo” enthält zehn meist schmissige, nostalgische, emotionale, poppige, technikverliebte, sanft gehauchte, minimalistische Elektronummern – mit anderen Worten: Midcult im besten Sinne. Das Album erscheint in drei unterschiedlichen Vinyl-editionen sowie auf CD und digital.

“East Coast minimal wave institution Xeno & Oaklander’s seventh full-length 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” (Dais Records)
