Archive material and source history
Xander is an indie folk duo from Los Angeles, formed in 2010 by vocalist and guitarist Brendan Moynihan and cellist and vocalist Suzanne Santo. Their music leans on soulful harmonies and poignant lyrics, with Santo's cello adding a haunting layer to Moynihan's guitar work. In 2012, their song '1000 Miles Apart' gained attention for its raw emotion, helping them find a wider audience.
They released their debut album 'Echoes' in 2013, followed by 'Compass' in 2015. Over time, their sound incorporated elements of soul, blues, and electronic music, moving beyond a straightforward folk style. Other tracks like 'Det Burde Ikk Være Sadan Her' and 'Os To Og Mine Lagner' reflect their introspective approach, often exploring themes of love and loss without grand statements.
In 2017, the band postponed a tour due to issues with Santo's vocals, which briefly drew some criticism. They've kept a relatively low profile since, focusing on their music rather than public drama. Their work remains grounded in the interplay between Moynihan's vocals and Santo's cello, avoiding the flashier trends of the indie scene.
