Sergeant ventures deeper into the chaos, occasionally emerging with something dangerously close to catchiness.
Symbols further explores the technique the band calls »dj-shadow-in-reverse«. Instead of digging for samples, they dig through themselves. Things are cut apart and glued back together: kraut drums, plunderphonics fragments, dance floor killers and dub chambers. This time, the wreckage has rhythm and the rhythm has an opinion. Ferre sings through the songs like he’s looking for an exit and having a great time not finding it. Somewhere in there, a flute appears: it sounds slightly worried about the bassline. But the band is more in charge of its plot than ever before. Sergeant finds bliss in losing it over and over again.
The people behind it move between different disciplines, carrying traces of those practices into this work.
