This is the consequence of a lot of influences: music, visual references and cities we have visited. We wanted to make something different, something brighter; East / West is that. A double album that reflects our idea of evolution as a band. On one hand, we have 8 synth-pop songs with a very marked aesthetic; on the other, we got into experimenting with different types of instruments to create environments that go along with a side that we did not want to leave behind. This album is a perfect balance between that idea we had of the band that gazed at their shoes and the legacy of a whole generation of music made with synthesizers and futurism.
Here’s the latest compilation from Oráculo featuring Etalon & Snem K, Dissident, Synths Versus Me, Pindrops and The Present Moment.
“Sorrow Wave” duo Bring Her based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania…play a distinctive brand of sombre darkwave, vibrant, cold and fascinating, defined by haunting and magnetic vocals over pounding and obsessive drum machines, penetrating guitar chords and eerie and harrowing synths, creating dismal and gloomy soundscapes brimming with mystery, sorrow and suffering.” – WhiteLight//WhiteHeat 12″ / CD / Digital Album
As a musical act, Xeno & Oaklander (Sean McBride and Liz Wendelbo) 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 Vigils (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. On their latest album Hypnos and first for the Dais imprint, 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. |
