Xeno & Oaklander have revealed the details behind their debut album for Ghostly International. Due out June 24th, the record is described as “an album-long ode to synesthesia.” Or as singer Liz Wendelbo puts it, “Sound makes me think of a scent, which makes me think of an image, which makes me think of a certain kind of light.”
To turn that abstract idea into a tangible one, a special edition of Par Avion (limited to just 350 hand-numbered copies) pairs a nude-colored slab of vinyl with a rose-scented art insert. You can pre-order that pressing now, or simply check out the sampler below for three of the record’s nine tracks…
