BIOGRAPHY
The Search was formed in Uppsala in 2003. Upon the release of their first full-length album, the eponymous The Search, the band revived the more atmospheric side of 80’s alternative music. The album was distributed by Red Sun Records and ended up as No.1 on their best sales chart for almost 3 months. A European tour followed with live gigs in the U.K., Germany, Holland, and Denmark.
In 2006, the EP compilation Blood Bathe/Bazaar of Lush Loose Limbs was released, which saw the band experimenting with the dark sonic landscapes of their earlier recordings. This was followed by a year spent working on their 3rd album, Deranged Minds Unite, which was released by Lonaly Records and had a lighter and more lo-fi sound than previous recordings.
The Search started the recording process of Saturnine Songs in early 2007. Partly produced by Kristofer Jönson of Jeniferever, the record was flavoured with organic elements and post-rock instrumentation. Following its release in April, 2008, the album contributed to an increased interest in the band abroad. Saturnine Songs, along with earlier recordings, was
released in digital form by Afmusic, and distributed by Danse Macabre. In addition to this, all the albums have recently been made available on Spotify.
The band has toured Europe in intervals, with gigs ranging from arty Dutch pop venues to British indie clubs, and at times playing somewhat “darker” scenes like the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig in 2009. In Uppsala, a show attracted some 7.000 people in the summer of 2008. A new album is in the making—one that has been meticulously prepared over the course of a year.
It is scheduled for release in September, 2011 and will be distributed on a large scale and followed by a tour. Tour dates will be updated continuously and booked by the band’s agents in the respective countries. As the ongoing recording process has taken up most of the band’s time lately, the upcoming tours and the promotion of the upcoming album will be the band’s priorities in 2012.
