Xeno & Oaklander are the synth pop / minimal electronics duo of Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride (of Martial Canterel), known for their mastery of clever song craft, dynamic sound design, and expansive world building. They are staples of Brooklyn, NY's analog synth community, helping drive the revival of dark dance and synth wave in the US.

"Magic of the Manifold" their first new music since 2021's 'Vi/deo', is moody, driving dance pop - a duet that feels equally at home in the caverns of cyberspace or an underground night club. Speaking on the single, they offer: "In 'Magic of the Manifold,' we created hard hitting drums set against romantic vocals & analog synth harmonies: we muse over the enchantment of a fictitious Mercury cavern where fumes and steam alter the mind and spark the imagination"

"Magic of the Manifold" lyrics:
Down in the silo
There’s a change in the air
Deep in the silo
There’s a shift in the colors

It’s mediumistic
Phenolic
Animalic

The magic of the manifold
Its flow splits the stream

Buteonic
Achromatic
Nektonic

The lightless push, the agony
The blended rock and steam

Down in the silo
Your ghost lingers everywhere
Deep in the silo
Quicksilver tears appear

It’s mediumistic
Phenolic
Animalic

Foundation of the manifold
The caverns wind and weave

Ectoplasmic
Teleplastic
Aphotic

A distant glow along back walls
The sateless war machines

It’s mediumistic
Phenolic
Animalic

Night outside, echoic din
Collapsing time and space

Buteonic
Achromatic
Nektonic

The magic of the saboteur
Who cuts and blocks this place

Ectoplasmic
Teleplastic
Aphotic

The magic of the manifold
Its flow obscures the trace
