Recorded in the fall of 2023 at their modernist Connecticut home fashioned into a two-story synthesizer laboratory and mixing studio, the album is uniquely visionary in spirit yet precision in execution, a contrast central to the duo’s enduring chemistry. Embryonic piano sketches were translated to nuanced modular systems, which McBride weighted with \"harmonic padding,\" tuned percussion, and a spectral transfer device capable of \"rendering spasms of rhythmic overtonal filigree.\" Despite the technological complexity of their craft, emotively the songs require no deciphering – these are technicolor widescreen anthems of the cybernetic age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SECRETLY DISTRIBUTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42618795688051,"sku":"DAIS235LP","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0342\/0787\/files\/0036977071_10.jpg?v=1733258057","url":"https:\/\/www.techniquerecords.com\/products\/xeno-oaklander-via-negativa-in-the-doorway-light","provider":"Technique Records LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
