MP3: The Go Find - "Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight"
What is change but an occasional desire
Rejected now, but then admired
When is it too late to change a fate
It's not something one can eliminate
A contemplative state of mind for you
Set in the past, the present, and the future, too
What is negative and oppositional initially
Will slowly become your reality
So learn to understand this pace of yours
Life is a lesson that exists outside of days and hours
Listen now as you reach the conclusion
What you thought was consistent was just an illusion
Hear the beat, see the melody
Emanating from everyone's bodies
It's not something that is predictable
For this is the rhythm of the world
You can guess, but you might not be right
Everyone knows it's gonna happen, only not tonight
Most electro pop can certainly be saccharine to an extent. There's a careful balance to maintain in this regard or else it just becomes grating. The Go Find are purveyors of a fine balance between the sweet and the pensive. Their melodies are beautiful and attractive, but lyrically they are reflective and thoughtful. By not being terribly brooding and downbeat, the band is a comforting listen. It also helps that they incorporate live instruments into the mix, allowing them to step out of the classification of simply being "electro pop."
When I was in high school, I started really getting into indie music. I was listening to anything I could find and learning new ways to not only approach music, but to appreciate it, as well. It wasn't all immediately accessible or catchy. This was of course, unsurprisingly, a result of my diet of commercial rock radio growing up (but hey, the station I had growing up was no where near as bad as what exists today). So, my knowledge in the field of electro indie pop (rock) is limited. I'd have to say that The Go Find remind me of Austin's American Analog Set.
The Go Find is the moniker of Berlin-based electronic artist Dieter Sermeus. While Sermeus might be the mastermind, The Go Find is a full-fledged band. Everyone Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight is the band's third full-length and was recorded over a six-month period in Brussels and Antwerp. The songs were built around a base of acoustic guitars and drums and are polished with that warm indie pop production and instrumentation.
Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight is out February 2010 on Morr Music.
