Gang Signs

From the first handclap on “Mate,” you can tell exactly what Gang Signs are going for. The primal drums, the shadowy and minimalist instrumentation, the interplay between Peter Ricq and Matea Sarenac’s vocals — it’s straight out of the xx’s playbook, but it’s executed so well that it doesn’t matter if we’ve heard it all before. There’s something about this kind of music that’s inherently appealing; it has a tendency to steal you away to a different headspace. The way the guitars cascade upwards and on top of each other, the tension that comes with the repetition of certain lines. It’s all about evoking a certain mood, and the Vancouver trio seem particularly adept at it. “Mate”‘s from their upcoming debut full-length, Geist, and you should listen to it below.

Gang Signs is the latest project from musician and animator Peter Ricq, also of the band Humans. The Vancouver-based electronic trio have shared their new single “SW” which will appear on their upcoming LP Geist set to be released on October 2nd. The track’s evolving metallic bass combines with Ricq and Matea Sarenac’s harmonizing vocals to create a blissful sound that makes you want to move. The group is playing The Wise Hall & Lounge in Vancouver on August 22nd. - Noisey

Vancouver electronic/new wave band Gang Signs will be releasing their debut album Geiston October 2nd, but in the meantime have released a terrific video for the track “Tonight”. Musically cut from the same cloth as the XX, but leaning more towards the dance side of the electronic spectrum, it’s a charming clip that follows an older woman walking the city streets at night and living life to its fullest.

“The idea for this video is inspired off of one of my aunts,” says guitarist Peter Ricq. “She always wanted to go dancing with her husband but he refused every time, he was tired, wanted to play cards and drink Ricard. She eventually left him and married a man 20 years younger, they’ve been together for 12 years now and they go out dancing every week.” - Pop Matters

Vancouver cinematic new wavers Gang Signs released the first single “Mate” and accompanying video from their upcoming debut full-length Geist today via Stereogum.Geist arrives October 2, 2015 via File Under: Music. “There’s something about this kind of music that’s inherently appealing; it has a tendency to steal you away to a different headspace. It’s all about evoking a certain mood, and the Vancouver trio seem particularly adept at it,” Stereogum said of the track, which features rapper Tommy Genesis’ dancing in the video.



With Geist, their first release, Gang Signs are ready to show the world the best way to exercise the demons is on the dance floor. The album is an exercise in cinematic new wave, taken as a whole each song builds and flows into the next, carried along by strong percussion, punctuated by melodies and almost spoken narration. Separated, the songs stand tall on their own, the sampled hand claps of “Mate” hold sway over guitar lines that build steady lines of subtle tension throughout.Gang Signs is the latest project of creative workaholic Peter Ricq, also of the electronic music duo HUMANS. Together with drummer Adam Fink and keyboardist/vocalist Matea Sarenac, the trio creates music that dances between self-control and defiance, winning over fans in their hometown of Vancouver since their very first gigs. Gang Signs songs are musically conceived on guitar, written and demoed within four hours,” says Ricq. “They are purposefully written in a traditional verse, chorus, verse format, and to really make the cut they must make you want to move.” - Alt Sound

Synth-y Vancouver post-punks Gang Signs have an album on the way, and having already premiered the track "Mate," that tune has now got a remix courtesy of Canadian producer Heroshe.

While the original version of the track was an atmospheric, shadowy new wave track akin to The xx, this remix emphasizes the dark wooziness of the arrangement by stripping away the guitars and eliminating all of the vocals save for some chopped-up, wordless snippets. In their place, we hear spooky drum machine syncopations and softly swirling synth pads.

Hear it below.

Gang Signs' album Geist is due out on October 2 through File Under: Music. On the release day, the band will be hosting an art show/release party at 436 Columbia Street in Vancouver. Gang Signs will perform a DJ set, and artists are encouraged to submit their own interpretations of the band's logo for inclusion in the art show. Learn more about the event on Facebook. - Exclaim

Gang Signs are a cinematic new wave trio based out of Vancouver, BC. They are set to release their debut full length album, Geist, on October 2nd and have recently released the first single and video from the album for the track Mate. Keep reading if you want to know more about Gang Signs.

Can you introduce yourself for the readers who may not be familiar with you and your music?

People call me Pete most of the time and I’m in a band called Gang Signs with Adam on drums and Matea on the samplers. Matea and I share vocals. We do a mix of New wave, R&B, electronic and house.

Geist is your first full length release, can you tell us a bit about the writing and recording process?

I wrote almost everything within a week except for some older tracks that we wanted to re record and release. The old EP was all done in my bedroom and was pretty LoFi, for Geist, we wanted to try a different approach, something that would sound good in a club. Hayz Fisher who usually records loud rock/metal bands produced the album and we feel like he achieved the goal. Thanks Hayz.

What was the concept behind the music video for Mate and how did you come up with it?

The new Jai Paul album came out when I was writing Geist (2 years ago), I was trying to do something like him and instead Mate materialized. I find you can hear Jai in the intro guitar riff but that’s about it. The song is about lying to yourself thinking you don’t need to help a friend until it’s too late. Shit, I’m really not that dark, I swear.

The album is meant to flow together as whole, is there a specific reasoning behind this?

I first heard Deftones do it on their first or second album when I was 16 or so, I thought “What a great idea!”. It just pieces the tracks together, builds a narrative. The album becomes a novel and not a bunch of short stories put together.

Do you have any plans for touring? Where would you be most excited to visit?

Yeah, of course! We’ve been rehearsing lots and pretty stoked about getting back on the road. I’d love for Gang Signs to play in the east of Canada and the states but I think we are most excited about visiting and playing Europe. Actually, Asia would be killer and Russia and Australia. You know what anywhere is good, I’m excited about it all.

What songs from Geist do you think will get the best reaction from fans?

That’s a hard one. Sometimes the tracks you love, that you think is the best one, no one else really connects with it. But I think “Mate” is my favourite but “Tonight” will definitely be a crowd favourite and “So Long” will be a favourite amongst the more indie crowd. But then again, I might be totally wrong.

What’s your most memorable fan experience?

When we played Rifflandia in Victoria BC, two years ago, we were carrying all our gear and couldn’t get any taxi whatsoever. I went in the middle of the street and aimed my thumb high. This Van just pulls over and says “Gang Signs? Just saw you guys, you were great, come on in.” I think he said we were great, not sure if that part is true but that’s how I like to remember it. Anyways, he got the whole band in the van and drove us back to his place, got some drinks then drove us to where we were staying and then we sadly never saw him again.

Since we’re all about Canadian music, who are your favorite Canadian bands/artists?

River Tiber, Crystal Castles, Skinny Kids, Tei Shi, Trust, Blue Hawaii, Phedre, Mac Demarco, Beta Frontiers, Sabota. I know I’m missing a ton, sorry. - Canadian Beats

It's been a big day for Vancouver musician Peter Ricq. After premiering the puppet-heavy new video for his Humans project's "Ennio" single earlier today through Exclaim!, his new wave outfit Gang Signs have now revealed details behind a forthcoming LP release. Their Geist goes live October 2 through File Under: Music.

The record follows the project's self-titled EP from 2012, with a press release noting that the full-length debut is "an exercise in cinematic new wave."

It's further explained by guitarist/vocalist Ricq that, on the whole, the 10-songs that make up Geist were "written and demoed within four hours." The key thing from there, apparently, is for he, drummer Adam Fink and keyboardist/vocalist Matea Sarenac to lock into a danceable groove.

Ricq clarified, "They are purposefully written in a traditional verse, chorus, verse format, and to really make the cut they must make you want to move."

To tease the set, the band have unveiled a music video for "Mate," which stars Vancouver rap figure Tommy Genesis. You'll find a stream of the clip below, courtesy of Stereogum.

Though the date details have yet to be unveiled, a North American tour behind Geist is in the works. For now, they'll join Fucked Up and DOOMSQUAD for a show at Vancouver's WISE Hall on August 22.

Geist:

1. Mate
2. Antidote
3. SW
4. LA On Monday
5. Silver
6. Back Up
7. So Long
8. Tonight
9. Heist
10. Stay Awake - Exclaim

Gang Signs (Independent)

Although it would be too reductive to call it a side project, Gang Signs features Humans’ Peter Ricq, who sings and plays guitar alongside fellow vocalist Matea Sarenac (also credited with “samplers”) and drummer Adam Fink. If you’re a fan of the work Ricq and Robbie Slade do under the Humans banner—which could be described as EDM for indie kids reared on Animal Collective and LCD Soundsystem—you’ll be predisposed to like Gang Signs.

The trio’s tracks could be mixed seamlessly into those of Humans (DJs take note), but there are notable differences, too. Gang Signs is darker, moodier, more minimal, and considerably more lo-fi. That last quality is occasionally distracting on the group’s self-titled debut EP. The vocals are invariably obscured by weirdly claustrophobic-sounding reverb, and on cuts such as “Counting on You” and “Antidote”, the drums are too tinny to be so high in the mix.

Production issues aside, Gang Signs is onto something. The group has an overall vibe of chilled atmospherics, and a few excellent bits in particular (like the chant of “Gotta keep goin’ ” on the hypnotic “Prequel”, and the percolating bass line of “Runnin”) suggest that something even cooler is on the way. - The Georgia Straight

Gang Signs do indeed know how to put the ‘party’ into an album release party. While there were no piñatas or rounds of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey (though that would have been a premium idea), there was non-stop dancing and great music all night. Everyone was there to celebrate Gang Signs’ debut self-titled EP which was released on August 28th. It all took place at The Cobalt on Main St. last Friday night. The Cobalt is a nifty place to see live music and have an all-around fun time. The outside of it may have seen better days but the inside is an aesthetically pleasing mix of dark wood, chandeliers and shiny pinball machines.

Gang Signs were supported by Blac Hollywood. Blac Hollywood, real name Cephas Munga, is a 20 year-old electronic artist. He mixed a wide range of samples into his music from hip hop to Purity Ring. He had a kind of hype man who would intermittently jump off the stage to grind with ladies, hand out business cards and video the audience. It made them come off as on the charming side of being young and cocky. Blac Hollywood’s mellow, experimental music was played to a modestly sized crowd but I’m guessing it won’t be long before he gets much bigger in Vancouver.

At 12:30, Gang Signs got on the stage to face an eagerly waiting audience. They all looked well turned out for their release party, especially Matea Sarenac who sported a Grimes-like outfit complete with pigtails and bindi. They started with album opener “Counting On You” entrancing the audience with raspy, chanted vocals from Peter Ricq and Sarenac. Gang Signs have perfected the formula for making dreamy, electro-rock heaven. The elements seem minimalistic but the mix of keyboard, guitar riffs and Adam Fink’s drumming come together to make seriously addictive, lo-fi music. They followed “Counting On You” with the morbid “Poison One” and the energetic “Prequel” and “Running”. These two songs are more high energy and the crowd started busting out the dance moves in earnest. Gang Signs were obviously really enjoying themselves at this point and were looking more comfortable on stage. The good vibes filled up the room, that and the cheap beer had the crowd showing them some serious love.

Next they played their single “LA on Monday” and “Going to the Sea”. They switched it up with Sarenac taking the lead for awhile. She’s got an arresting way of singing, half coyly moaning, half bored of it all. They seemed to be over all too soon. Their songs have a way of blending into each other that you don’t really notice the time elapsing. By this I mean all their songs have that distinctive Gang Signs sound – pulsing beats, grinding bass-line and ghostly vocals.

They played such a tight set of seductive electro-pop, I can imagine most of their songs being indie dance hits. They definitely deserve a wider audience and it feels like it won’t be long until they break out of the Vancouver scene. You should enjoy one of their live shows while they are still knocking about this part of the world. You can purchase and download their EP here.

Olio Festival at the Biltmore Cabaret on Friday, September 21

You could have followed your nose to the Biltmore Cabaret Friday night for an Olio Festival showcase featuring Twin River, Julie Doiron, Hume, and Gang Signs, that almost didn’t happen. Due to a massive fire that was blazing in a Vietnamese restaurant and supermarket only a few streets away, festival-goers were greeted by smoky fumes and flashing fire engines as they made their way to the club.

A half hour later than scheduled, on account of the ensuing power outage that hit most of Mount Pleasant (including the Biltmore) BC Hydro saved the day and the show finally went on.

Despite the incendiary circumstances surrounding it, the gig was surprisingly seamless and chilled out. If there was one connective thread tying the four sets together, it was probably each act’s mastery of the art of playing like you were there with them in their bedroom. That resulted in a lot of daydreamy shoegazing with minor bouts of passionate abandon.

Having gotten a bit lost in the haze of confusion over the power outage, I caught only the tail end of Twin River’s opening set. Still, the rootsy folk-pop quintet, featuring members of White Ash Falls, Capitol 6, and Mode Moderne, among other respected local projects, was in top form.

Garnering a crowd that seemed spellbound by its somber, silvery melodies and galloping alt-country rhythms, Twin River set a cool and collected mood and laid-back vibe for the night. And at least one couple was moved enough by singer Courtney Ewan’s honeyed, melancholy voice to make out right in front of the stage.

The most well-received act was Acadian singer-songwriter Julie Doiron from Moncton, New Brunswick, who is set to release her ninth studio album So Many Days in October. The number of excited fans who filled out the room was proof of the indie pop-rocker’s staying power as a national treasure. And the moon-eyed look so many of them had as she sung in her husky, Cat Power–esque croon and riffed effortlessly on her six-string was pretty endearing.

Equally charming was Doiron’s unfailing modesty and ease with her position in the spotlight. She thanked the audience profusely, laughed at herself and her bandmates, who looked “Wow, so cool and purple” in the stage lighting, and sung so earnestly and emotionally it was as if the microphone was her diary.

Going solo for her last three songs, she took requests from the crowd and closed with “The Songwriter”, “Will You Still Love Me In December?”, and “Glad To Be Alive”, the twee cutesiness of her music and demeanor never getting too syrupy.

Crawling into the wee hours of the morning, experimental noise-pop quartet Hume took the stage as approximately half of the audience was vacating—presumably to go home and sleep like normally functioning human beings. Those who stayed proceeded to invent some of the most hilarious dance moves to ever grace the Biltmore, and Hume soon lost itself in a sonic trance, its two drummers keeping impressively in sync while the guitarist fiddled endlessly with a treasure trove of effects pedals.

Unfortunately for Hume, whose music tends to get stuck in a repetitive pattern, the band was overshadowed by one hilarious dancer in the crowd. The dude in question did his best to one-up Michael Jackson by posing mid-mad shuffle, popping an imaginary collar and pointing excessively.

Dark electro mopers Gang Signs closed the show, and although its ethereal, beat-heavy sound was perfectly suited to the end-of-night dance floor, the band members themselves might as well have been sleepwalking as they went through the motions on stage. They might have an excuse, as it was 3 a.m. by the time they went up, but that certainly didn’t stop the dwindling audience from dancing like crazy. And I mean crazy. They made sure this chapter of the Olio Festival went out with a bang.
- The Georgia Straight

Vancouver’s Gang Signs are a relatively new band, but its players are no strangers to the city’s music scene. Singer and guitarist Peter Ricq is one half of electro-pop duo Humans, while Matea Sarenac, on vocals and sampler, is also known as DJ Wobangs at the Biltmore’s Tropical Love Connection. Finally, drummer Adam Fink has been known to play with many other Vancouver bands over the years.

Formed in June 2011, the band quickly made a name for itself with dark melodies, catchy grooves and haunting vocals. The band recently entered the studio and released its self-titled debut EP on August 31.

“We were amazed with how quickly everything came together. It felt very natural,” says Fink over the phone from the band’s practice space in East Vancouver.

“We did a day at the Watershed studio and tried to lay down as much as possible and we got through 21 tracks in, I think, six hours. It just felt really good and we went to mixing after that,” chimes in Ricq.

Recording 21 songs in that short period of time is no small feat. With that volume of tunes, one must wonder why the band decided to release an EP rather than a full-length album.

“The idea was always to release an EP first. So we sat down and went through all the songs and picked which ones went together best and ended up with these eight songs,” claims Ricq.

“We know it’s eight songs, but it still feels like an EP to us. The way it is sequenced and how there are no breaks in between songs, it would feel weird for us to call it an album. I think we are too young as a band to release a full length,” Fink further elaborates.

With a wealth of unreleased recorded material, expect the release of a few singles, perhaps another EP, and at some point in the future, a full-length album.

Vancouver dance duo Humans released their Traps EP a few months ago, and now band member Peter Ricq is branching out with another EP, this time with his band Gang Signs. The trio, which also features Matea Sarenac (aka DJ Wobangs) and Adam Fink, will release their self-titled debut on August 28.

These songs were written and recorded on Ricq's days off from Humans. They ended up completing 21 electro-leaning tracks, eight of which are included here.

A press release calls the EP "dreamy, yet dark." That seems like an appropriate description for the '80s-tinged song "L.A. on Monday," which is available below. More of the songs can be heard over at SoundCloud.

Gang Signs will mark the record's release with a Vancouver show on August 31 at the Cobalt. This will feature Blac Hollywood and DJ Christian Flores. - Exclaim.ca

- The Snipe News

In the middle of a lengthy email thread attempting to coordinate band, photographer, and writer schedules for an interview with Gang Signs, Discorder received an unusual request.
“How about we all eat something odd/gross and chase it with something even more potent/gross?” wrote Gang Signs’ Peter Ricq. The idea quickly evolved into a kind of game, where members of the band would consume a food and beverage combination given to them by lottery. “Make two combos yummy! One gross one!” Ricq said over email.
Come interview time, Gang Signs’ three members, Ricq (guitar/vocals), Matea Sarenac (sampler/vocals), and Adam Fink (drums), are crowded together in their tiny jam space on East 2nd, confronted by three mysterious packages. Selecting first, Ricq is rewarded with two slices of leftover mushroom pizza and a canned version of Jack Daniels and ginger ale. “Hey, all right,” he says, pleasantly surprised.
“I want the pizza!” says Sarenac, reaching out next to pick next. “Oh, wait, I want this, whatever this is. What is this? A piece of cake?”
Ricq eyes Sarenac’s treat, “I kind of want to all share now.”
“Can we?” Sarenac asks, taking up the beverage portion of her combo, a can of fruit juice and tequila. “I like this game.”
Observing the band go through this strange food surprise exercise feels like sitting with a group of teenagers in their parents’ basement, trying to stave off boredom by creating a game out of whatever is at hand. Each person is willing and good humored, but at the same time somewhat retiring and seemingly unconcerned with the outcome. There is an atmosphere in the interview that you can hear in Gang Signs’ music as well, a kind of lo-fi electro that has been dubbed by listeners as “slacker dance.”
“It’s like, you want to dance, but you don’t have to,” says Ricq. “It’s perfect. It’s how I feel all the time.”
From across the small room, Fink reaches forward for the final package. “I’m going to have to eat something gross now,” he sighs, inciting laughter from his band mates. The others look on as Fink draws a flat plastic package from the bag.
“What is that? Hair?” asks Ricq.
“’Black Moss’” reads Fink from the package, “I don’t even know what black moss is.” With little else but the name to go on—the back of the package reads simply, “ingredients: black moss”—and the fact that it was found in the dried foods section of T & T Supermarket, Fink opens the package and removes a clump of wiry black fibres. “You want to see me eat this? All right.”
“It looks like pubic hair,” says Ricq.
“Oh my god,” comments Sarenac, “I would not eat that shit.”
“Oh no,” says Ricq as Fink grabs a hold of his beverage. “What is that?”
“Mmmmmmmmmm,” Fink says sarcastically, reading his drink label. “Banana flavored creamy vodka beverage.”
Everyone in the band shares in the spoils of the game. Sarenac eats most of Ricq’s pizza. Everyone tries the moss, as Fink says, “It honestly doesn’t taste like anything. You want some on your pizza?”
Sarenac refuses and Ricq say, “It’s like eating fucking pubic hair. You can’t even chew it.” Their easy and familiar way with each other evokes the air of lifelong friendship, an impression belied by their very disparate places of origin. Sarenac was born in Croatia, her family immigrating to Canada via Toronto in the mid ‘90s, eventually moving west to Vancouver where she’s lived most of her life. Ricq hails from Montreal, a fact given away by his lightly inflected English. And Fink, raised in Whitehorse, bee-lined for Vancouver after graduating high school in order to play music.
It’s obvious from listening to the band talk that their love of music binds them together. Fink, a self-described music freak, has played in bands since a young age and keeps a handful of projects in rotation, just like his bandmates. Ricq, possibly best known as half of the dance act HUMANS, has added Gang Signs and another side project, Ladyfrnd, to his list of his extra-curricular activities. Sarenac keeps busy as winniecooper.net associate and DJ, Wobangs. When asked about previous band experiences, Sarenac recounts her days as a 15 year-old member of local pop sensation Mystique.
“We had a single called ‘Mystique Knows How to Party’ and there’s a music video too.” She teased us, revealing that the only way to see the video was on VHS.
Discussing the origins of the Gang Signs line up, Ricq recalls seeing Sarenac sing Patsy Cline’s “Crazy” at karaoke one night. “When she sang it was like [makes a rapturous face]… Wooooah, I gotta start a band with that girl!”
“I always had the idea of starting a band with a girl. I think it’s pretty neat — that voice? Having that juxtaposition of male and female, I find it is very… inviting. And Adam is always just down to play drums.”
“Yeah,” agrees Fink, “we’ve known each other for a while, it’s just one of those things.”
That “thing” is now manifest in an eight-song self-titled EP, released this August. The band’s take on how the EP came together seems nothing short of synergistic. Songwriting and recording at home in his spare time earlier this year, Ricq got the bulk of the material ready for the rest of the band to record with—21 songs in total. Once Sarenac’s vocals were recorded, all that was left was the drum tracks, which Fink pounded out in a single session at Watershed Studios.
“And it wasn’t because we were short on cash or had any limitations,” Fink is careful to clarify. “Everything just seemed like it worked. It was exactly how we wanted it to sound.”
Following their EP release party at the Cobalt on August 31, the band is slated to open for Nite Jewel on September 10, at the Waldorf. Later in the month they will be a part of a Winnie Cooper-sponsored showcase at the Biltmore on September 21 during Olio Festival. Beyond that, no grand plans are being schemed, besides spreading their spooky, synthy pop through the airwaves and across the globe. “We’re doing this EP so people outside of Vancouver get to know us,” explains Ricq.
Unsure of what the future holds, the band cracks open some fortune cookies to wash away the taste of the black moss and maybe catch a glimpse of what’s to come. But then we added “in bed” to the end of each fortune.
