He's A Liquid - Xeno & Oaklander We’re excited to announce a ltd edition 12 inch EP, featuring 5 covers of tracks from John Foxx’s Metamatic album by contemporary artists much admired by the artist himself. Wrangler (with lead vocals by Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder) and Gazelle Twin team up for a new version of ‘He’s A Liquid’, giving the surreal atmosphere of the original a sinister, darker edge. Hannah Peel explores the psychedelic possibilities of ‘Tidal Wave’ with voice, electronics and music box, while LoneLady strips back ‘030’ to a starkly beautiful vision of ‘sunlit concrete’ built around voice, beats, guitar and cello.  Side Two opens with the laser beam focus of The Soft Moon’s ‘No-One Driving’ – stomping mechanical beats, guitars and keyboards as intense as flickering strobes. The EP ends with another one of John Foxx’s favourite bands, Xeno & Oaklander, who create a ferocious analogue take on the title-track, complete with vocals by Liz Wendelbo which are part European art movie/part B-movie psychedelic horror flick.  LONELADY: ‘I live in a high-rise right next to a dual carriageway, so John Foxx’s music makes a lot of sense to me. I find his dystopias exciting and at times full of longing and romance. At first merely functional, the surfaces of the city become exotic, seductive.’  XENO & OAKLANDER: ‘Metamatic is so fundamental as an influence on so much – from synthpop, New Romantic, industrial dance, EBM, et al – its consequences are far reaching and still being felt.’  THE SOFT MOON: ‘No-One Driving is my favourite John Foxx track. It has everything I love in a song. From an emotional standpoint it’s dark, moody and yet somehow optimistic. From a musical standpoint it’s beautifully structured with melodic verses, a catchy chorus and I would still like to get that arpeggiated phaser synth sound.’
