What previous The Go Find records only hinted at becomes very apparent on their fourth album: the band stirs a big chunk of love for '80s pop music into 21st century pop songs. On Brand New Love, the decade of the New Romantics shimmers through in every song. But The Go Find treats those classic '80s sounds in a surprisingly fresh manner: a mix of indie, electronics and some smooooth synth-loving, combined with the already well-known The Go Find sound. Listen to the opening track "Jungle Heart," for instance: when the swirly synths pop in, the song turns into a dance track: your feet won't be able to resist the beat. "The Lobby" is "Sexual Healing" finding new ways to dance with I "Want to Know What Love Is": The Go Find surprises us with this beautiful track about someone who's tired of waiting for that special someone. If the lyrics weren't so plain heartbreaking, it just as well might become a song you'd like to hear at your wedding. The synth bass in "Your Heart" that surfaces halfway through the song makes you want to drive your car through a hot Italian summer night, while "We Run" is hazy as clouds of morning mist that are about to evaporate in the first beams of sunlight. "The Message" sounds catchy and harbors a wonderful guitar interlude. "Japan" is all about the girls winning, and "Summer Boys" is a beautiful song about a friendship between young boys. It's hard not to fall in love with this record. So don't be too surprised when Brand New Love grows into your brand new love. Just listen and "follow what you feel," as Lou Barlow urges us to do in his fantastic (Sebadoh) song of the same name.
