REVIEWS
“(…) Oslo based improv collective DNA? AND? aim to involve people with Down syndrome in serious music making. For Seele Brennt, Reynols provide two remixes of music that the ensemble played live with Einstürzende Neubauten’s NU Unruh in October 2019. The first half of the record is an absolutely wild industrial proposition, bordering mutant techno, with ululating calls wrapped around groaning synthetic textures and metallic percussion that clanks and screeches like manufacturing machinery gone haywire.
Reynols then harness a jagged heaviness that would challenge even the edgiest of industrialists into a tauter, more ethereal, but no less strange krautrock form. Whooshing electronics and guitar squeals lay on top of insistent beats, while, in typically surreal fashion, frolicking flutes provide a quizzical background tapestry.”
— Antonio Poscic, The Wire, October 2024 (Issue 488)
“(…) Og det er jo, sånn i forbifarten, en god anledning til å nevne den nyeste utgivelsen til DNA?AND?, som heter Seele Brennt, og som er en mystisk og nesten industrial-preget sak basert på konsertopptak hvor improvisasjonskollektivet har møtt N. U. Unruh, en av grunnleggerne av det legendariske tyske bandet Einstürzende Neubauten. Det hele er remikset av Reynols, de argentinske undergrunnslegendene som er selve urbandet når det kommer til kollektiv der utøvere med trisomi lager spontan, alternativ musikk i alskens sjatteringer. At det virkelig kan gå alle slags steder får vi en bekreftelse på på Seele Brennt, som i mine ører tar en ganske markant avstikker fra de milde, tålmodige og ofte motoriske stemningene DNA?AND? ofte befinner seg i. Her hører vi fra start surkling fra det som høres ut som mørk treblås, diverse melodisk slagverk og ekstatisk, guffen vokal. Stemningene skifter, men en bryggende, nesten horror-aktig uro ligger der og lurer, noen ganger i ytterkantene av bildet, andre ganger midt i. På det suggererende sistesporet “Nicolazo Chiquas” dukker “Gula Gula” opp. Det er lekent og omsluttende – som en slags mørkgjemsel.”
