A portrait emerges in the video for the lead single from Xeno & Oaklander‘s Sets & Lights: one of two separate yet unmistakably intertwined individuals. Liz Wendelbo gracefully ascends and descends a menacing staircase while Sean McBride stands patiently in the ambiguous, blurred distance. The time is warped, the architecture is unfriendly, and the relationship between both people and their physical environment is made anxiously questionable. And yet, dominating the proceedings is an air of exoticism and pervasive sensuality in the face of what feels like an impending violent event. The collision of these tensions, atmospheres, and personas is soundtracked on this latest offering from Wierd Records — available everywhere on October 11.
You can also now grab the title track (b/w “Sunday”) on 7″ vinyl ahead of the LP Release for a limited time from Wierd Records.
