XENO & OAKLANDER

Miss Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride, aka Xeno and Oaklander, began performing at bars, clubs and private parties in 2004, functioning single-handedly along with Sean's solo project Martial Canterel as the instigators of what has now become a new, rapidly growing movement of minimal electronic bands in the United States. Inspired by the likes of the largely unknown first wave of continental European minimal electronic bands of the early 80's (Absolute Body Control, Twilight Ritual, Martin Dupont, Snowy Red), the seminal early industrial bands, as well as the emphemeral, psychedelic atmospheres of the British shoegaze bands of the 1990s, Xeno and Oaklander perform using entirely analogue synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines to produce a highly-crafted, complex of form of moody, electronic pop music that is simultaneously romantically melancholic and affirmatively aggresive. Uptempo, cold, distant, echo-laden electronic landscapes provide a spacious, melancholic backdrop for Miss Liz's complex ephemeral lyrical presence. Their entirely live approach to both performance and recording, unmediated by the computer or any prerecorded playback interference, presents a new optimistic radical paradigm shift for electronic music in which the analogue synthesizer functions entirely anew as a folk instrument of humanist resistance to a 'soft synth' world being 'clicked and dragged' into oblivion.

Led er est was formed in early 2007 by Samuel kKlovenhoof and Shawn NoEQ. Drawing from the dire textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambience of postpunk and coldwave, and the primal kineticism of old school house and techno, the project was initially more of an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn towards the end of 2007, Owen Stokes was recruited. Led er est strives towards that which is otherworldy and alien(ating), but also immediate and infectious. Their live performance is raw and unhinged, at times leaning towards the improvisatory, but ultimately rooted in traditional songcraft.
"Brooklyn's Wierd Records is proud to present the debut LP from Led Er Est entitled Dust on Common. Formed in 2007, the band has both been fostered by and has served as a vitally integral part of the Brooklyn minimal electronics scene that surrounds the Wierd Records label and weekly party that has been active in New York since 2003. Like their close friends and label allies Martial Canterel and Xeno & Oaklander, this first full-length release shows the three piece clearly breaking out of the Wierd minimal synth underground to create an undeniably contemporary set of highly crafted, sophisticatedly restrained, and icily psyche-delic pop songs. Following on the heels of both last year's self-released and 'gone in five minutes' debut 7" 'Fingers Curling Up', as well as the recently released single on Brooklyn's Captured Tracks label 'Poll Gorm b/w 'Man and Tree', this long-awaited Long-Player shows the band confidently coming into their own and is a welcome frozen blast of pleasure to their many fans, as their wildly raw and often improvisatory and unhinged live performances have garnered devoted cult followings in the cold wave, house, disco, and experimental electronics/noise scenes in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan."
