Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight
Belgian auteur Dieter Sermeus returns to Morr Music for a third collection of songs as The Go Find. Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight retains the feel of electronically constructed pop exhibited over the course of Miami and Stars On The Wall, but tightens up the sound and arguably pays greater attention to the songwriting. While once The Go Find was lumped in with acts like The Postal Service and the various other electronically-minded groups on Morr, there's something else afoot here: 'It's Automatic' is like a hipster take on Hall & Oates in its own charming way, and similarly 'Neighborhood' sounds rather like one of the soft-rock pastiches off Phoenix's debut album, United. One of the weirdest moments on the album has come during the verses in 'Cherry Pie', which somehow (and this could just be me, readers) evoke Pavement covering Alice Cooper's 'No More Mr. Nice Guy'. Closing in fine style, the blissed-out, Autotuned slow '80s disco of 'Heart Of Gold' sees the album out brilliantly, leaving you with the sense that Sermeus is far from a spent force, and that there's plenty more good stuff to come.
