Electric Independence: Xeno and Oaklander, a Short Documentary on the Electronic Musicians

Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride make up the minimal electronics duo known as Xeno and Oaklander. Instead of geeking out on software like much of their Brooklyn brethren, the pair record their songs live in their home studio, playing analog synthesizers and drum machines exclusively. On this episode of Electric Independence, we learn how this handsome duo of Norwegian/French/American heritage fashions a raw, distopian 80’s dance beat that buzzes with a sense of robot horror.
