Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices now expands with the presence of a third, adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar.

The work continues to explore a method that feels less like collecting from the outside and more like rearranging from within. Fragments are taken apart and reassembled: rhythms, echoes, remnants of recognizable forms. This time, there is a stronger sense of movement, though it never quite settles. The vocals wander through it all, as if searching without urgency to arrive. At unexpected moments, other sounds surface briefly, then disappear again. The whole seems to find comfort in its own instability.

The titles exist somewhat independently, like small pieces that don’t fully explain themselves. In that distance, they open up space for interpretation. Language itself feels uncertain: questioned, reshaped, exchanged. The work circles around ideas of expression and relevance without resolving them, touching lightly on themes that resist being stated directly.

The result feels suspended between places, moods, or states, never entirely grounded. There’s a sense of contrast throughout, as if different impulses coexist without needing to agree. If it seems out of step at times, it may simply be following a rhythm of its own.

Difficult to pin down, more immediate in experience than in description. It recalls unlikely combinations and shifting textures, at once playful, disoriented, and quietly precise.

The people behind it move between different disciplines, carrying traces of those practices into this work.

🌽 Action Park Sargent: second single of Or Sobre Blau - Making Friends is out now! Come celebrate June 20th for the release at ! 🌽

“Making Friends” is a record about its own making: a reflection on a decade of friendship, on the importance of friend and family bonds (the song “Rachel & Antonia” is named for, and excerpts phone conversations with, both members’ mothers), and the duo’s shared, irrepressible, inexplicable need to play and record music with others. The duo begins the record distant and confused — the first track “Campanilleros” records their agonising attempts to remember how to play music and communicate together (Leonard realises he has more or less forgotten how to speak Spanish) — and they end closer and stronger both as friends and collaborators; sharing, as Serra remarks on the final track “La invitació de l’anguila” (the Eel’s Invitation), “molta il.lusió per lo que pogué vindre” or “much excitement for what may lie ahead“.

Out now!? Symbols by Sergeant 💙🛠️ STRLP-115

Today marks the release of Symbols, the second album by Sergeant on Stroom. Or not quite, since the record itself is still somewhere between arriving and not arriving. Consider this a soft launch. Digitally available worldwide. Listening links in the you know where!

Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices (Ferre & Benjamin) now expands with the presence of a third (Geraldine), adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar. 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.

‘Duori’, the collaborative album between Heith & Tarawangsawelas, is out worldwide!

💜💚🤎🧡💙🖤

Heith and Tarawangsawelas met in Bandung in 2017, since then their collaboration has been evolving, both in person and remotely. The result is ‘Duori’ an album of 5th world music in low data mode that travelled inside lost and found portable recorders, on defunct hard drives and expired e-sim cards.
Recording and arranging songs over a long period of time and across a vast geographical distance has lent their practice a distinct character. This distance allows the possibility to see things from different perspectives and creates music that hovers both inside the Sundanese Land, and outside of it, both on the European continent and not. This record carries compositions from one side of the globe to the other, catching spirits and energies from different places, societies and rituals.

All tracks by Heith, Tarawangsawelas
Saxophone and flutes on tracks 3, 4, 6, 8 by Luigi Monteanni
Samples and electronic on track 3 by Matteo Pennesi

Ltd to 300 copies

Andreu G. Serra and Kiran Leonard are guitarists and good friends. They met nine years ago, having moved to Lisbon within a couple of weeks of each other by pure chance. While living together in a large, horrible warehouse in Alto São João, they recorded a set of improvisations later released as “The Piri Piri Samplers” (Memorials of Distinction, 2019), which captured the duo’s distinct yet complementary approaches to their instrument: Serra’s rasping, wildly idiosyncratic lead lines spilling over looping beds of tape manipulation and ebow, and Leonard’s contrastingly traditional, no-pedals counterpoint. They played one show at an art gallery, both left Lisbon before the end of the summer, and did not live in the same country again for almost a decade.

When Stroom offered to reissue The Piri Piri Samplers in 2024, augmented with a collage of recordings made by the duo as part of Serra’s Les Ateliers Claus residency in Brussels (“O Terço dos Homens”), the label kindly suggested that if the duo were to make another record, they would be interested in releasing that as well. The problem was that the pair still lived a thousand miles away from each other (Leonard in London; Serra in southern Catalonia), and had not played together for half a decade. Initial attempts to record remotely were, in short, a disaster. After a few months of failing to pull together more than a disorganised Dropbox folder of unfocused phone recordings, Serra frankly texted Leonard to say that the album obviously wasn’t going to happen, and so they should just sack it off and forget it. This was the breaking point the project needed. Within a month Leonard had flown to Catalonia to begin tracking; a week after that, the first half of the record was done; a month after that, Serra had moved down the road from Leonard in Lewisham, South London, and the duo were meeting every week to develop new material.
