<i>Hypnos</i> is eight new songs of sparkling electronics from Xeno &amp; Oaklander (duo consisting of Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride) that blur the lines between 60's French Pop, 80's wave and contemporary modular synth pop. Available here on glacial colored LP, violet colored LP, standard black LP, and standard CD.

Romantic and mythic, a dreamlike journey through dense harmonies and complex polyphonic compositions... As a musical act, Xeno &amp; Oaklander conflate a rich love of analog synths, melody, and mythology with eloquent nuance and a nod to the heritage they draw from. While that construct is the duo's immediate kiss and crush, there's a deeper importance to their collaboration which began in 2004. As evidenced in their debut <i>Vigils</i> (2004), McBride and Wendelbo's artistic dynamic is more than just a mutual love for electronics but a contrast between architectural precision and painterly expression. From the film scores to the traditional albums they've recorded in their Brooklyn studio, they've both spurred and fostered the global synth wave revival through a commitment to analog-only production and performance as well as a strident respect for the medium.
