Selvhenter finder inspiration i æstetikken fra eksperimenterende rock, sofistikeret improvisationsmusik, hårdtslående punk, noise og metal, men også percussion-drevet musik fra Afrika og Sydøstasien og ikke mindst den moderne minimalistiske kompositionsmusik. Resultatet er en unik lyd, hvor polyrytmiske mønstre flettet sammen af trommeslag møder simple melodier fra Bertels udknaldede trombone. Det er konfrontatorisk, insisterende energisk og til tider dansabel musik, leveret med en smittende passion og en humor, der gør det essentielt at opleve gruppen live.

Going past musical genres and instead straight towards something more elemental – Selvhenter’s music creates a strikingly direct, physical experience of sound composed of polyrhythms, acoustic and electric melodies, heavy music and improvised beauty.

Since forming in Copenhagen in 2010, drummers Jaleh Negari and Anja Jacobsen, saxophonist Sonja LaBianca and trombonist Maria Bertel have forged a unique approach to making music that starts with their instrumental setup: two drummers that interlock as frequently as they go their own way, a trombone put through a bass amplifier loud enough to rattle your chest and a saxophone put through a range of effects so that it often sounds unrecognisable. Selvhenter work within their own idiom, drawing from the individual players’ personalities and interests to make a highly collective music, where all four musicians are absorbed into a total sound where an improvised free jazz approach collides with experimental electronic music and avant-garde noise/post-punk sonorities.
