7inch Wierd Records USA 2011
The title track and second single from Xeno & Oaklander's new LP is
full of all the propulsive energy, infectious hooks, and enigmatic
lyrical themes that have become the trademarks of this seminal
electronic duo. "Sets & Lights" opens with a driving beat and
wistful arpeggios that lead into a chorus that's as hook-laden as it is
laced with darkly violent imagery. The b-side, "Sunday," keeps the
kinetic pace and lightens the tone slightly, letting Liz Wendelbo's
unmistakable voice drift above the lilting electronics making it a
perfect compliment to the a-side.
