With "The Compound", Search/Rescue from Seattle presents not only a successful but also a remarkably strong and surprisingly mature debut album featuring ten radio-friendly (Indie) rock songs that occasionally remind one of "Coldplay" and "Radiohead". The songs are characterized by the phenomenally pure and entirely unpretentious voice of Ryan Van Wieringen, harmoniously supported and echoed by a pulsating, sometimes demonic bass and a frequently lyrical yet always modest guitar. Additionally, there is a melancholic keyboard that never muddies the sound and an extra-dry percussion. The songs possess a melodiousness of sometimes anthemic character, whose dramatic tension is often heightened by tempo delays. One could easily imagine them as the opening act for a U2 concert!
"Search/Rescue" was formed after the often-mourned breakup of the pop-punk band "Acceptance", whose former guitarist Kaylan Cloyd now forms the core of "Search/Rescue" together with Ryan Van Wieringen and Bobby Darling from "Gatsby's American Dream". Since "Gatsby's American Dream" is reportedly only on a break, it would be very unfortunate if this debut album were to be their only release. A few more milligrams of pathos and a bit more summer in the chorus, and they would achieve a proper hit.
"The Compound" was released by Eyeball Records.
