Building on the energetic swirl of 2023’s Information Blip and their well-received EPs, Search Results’ follow-up Go Mutant takes its title seriously, bringing idiosyncrasies to the fore, and at under just 35 minutes, it manages to sound both frantic and precise. Over the course of 13 songs,they have created an immersive, bold piece of work, a fitting musical statement for a band with such interesting influences.
In terms of songwriting, Fionn Brennan and Jack Condon are equally comfortable with not knowing where each other’s songs emerge from. This ambiguity is well-evidenced on Go Mutant-sometimes the vocals are muffled, as on the scuzzy Mountaintop, sometimes they are clear and almost guttural on something like Be Laurel with its driving guitars,and sometimes they sound like they have been recorded down a well, as on the wonky, skittering Steeplejacks.
This is Search Results richest musical document to date, taking us somewhere both nostalgic and fresh –with the band channelling rule-breakers and world-builders, whether Kurt Vonnegut or the series On Cinema at the Cinema with Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington-on Go Mutant Search Results have joined that rank of the singular and compelling.
