Gang Signs

"SW"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Aug 19, 2015

Vancouver electronic duo Humans have spent 2015 releasing and promoting their album Noontide, but now band member Peter Ricq has shifted his focus to his band Gang Signs. With their LP Geist due out on October 2 through File Under: Music, they have shared a new track called "SW."

The five-and-a-half-minute cut sports a dynamic arrangement that morphs a few times; there are some short passages of quiet ambience, menacing new wave grooves, and icy minimalist comedowns akin to The xx. These shapeshifting textures are tied together by thumping electronic rhythms and duet vocals from singers Ricq and Matea Sarenac.
