The Go Find - We Run
In 2004 The Go Find’s Dieter Sermeus floated into our musical realm on a cute
paper sailboat, guitar in his hands, palm trees in the distance. After finding
the right musical companions he took a stroll in the woods on his second Go Find
record. On the third record the band disappeared in a cardboard landscape of
blue mountains, and now, in 2013, only colorful light beams remain, searching
for a Brand New Love.
Dieter was born in 1975 and started playing in a guitar band when he was
fifteen years old. Between 1997 and 2002 he fronted the band Orange Black, with
whom he released three records on Atomic/Labelman. They played support for
Pavement, followed by shows with Stereolab, Seam, Unwound and others.
By 2001 Dieter’s love for electronics grew and with the help of his good
friend Styrofoam, he recorded the first Go Find record “Miami” (2004), a
perfectly constructed collection of crackled bedroom pop held together by
Dieter’s high and dreamy voice. Mostly a solo effort at that point, but for the
tours that followed Dieter put together a solid band. Subsequently “Stars on the
wall” (2007) was a bigger record in many ways. It was a confident and optimistic
indiepop album with more room for synths, yet still retaining a distinct sense
of melancholy. The record featured ‘New Year’- a modest radio hit - and was
followed by an extensive tour of Europe. In 2009 The Go Find featured on a Morr
Music Compilation with a wonderful cover of Pink Frost by The Chills. This
proved to be the perfect choice for a band that by now has embraced the dreamy
sound of 80s synths and a good opportunity to include a female voice on a Go
Find track.
2010 sees the release of the third Go Find record “Everybody knows it’s gonna
happen, only not tonight”, a record full of youthful innocence, wrapped in
dreamy pop songs built around swirling synths, acoustic guitars and Dieter’s
distinct voice. Where “Everybody knows it’s gonna happen, only not tonight”
displayed overt influences of Pavement (‘Cherry Pie’) and Roxy Music (‘Heart Of
Gold’), the brand new “Brand New Love” (2014) sees The Go Find dive deep into
the New Romantics decade and its smooth synths sounds, only to come up with 21st
century pop songs that turn the boy meets girl stories you’re used to upside
down and inside out. (Very) loosely inspired by Sebadoh’s song with the same
title, “Brand New Love” will make you want to slow-dance to 2020 sounding
hybrids of “Sexual
Healing” and “I Want To Know What Love Is”, and drive through endless neon-lit
hot summer nights. Really. You will come out feeling happy. And slightly sad.
And then happy again.
