Razmig Tekeyan and change are the only constants when talking about THE SEARCH. Having released 6 EP's since 1999 under the name ‘The Silverslut', the band has recorded 9 albums from the time of its formation (2003).
While their early work was dominated by 80's-influenced new/dark wave and indie rock sound, the 2012 album "Staying Alive in a Country Industrialized" showed the more pop-oriented side of their music for the first time. Major shifts in the line-up since 2012 lead to the first solo effort of the band's creative mind with last year's album "Echo", a minimalistic low-fi recording focusing on composition and lyrics.
15 years after the first album, Razmig Tekeyan – the founder and now sole member of THE SEARCH - decided to record and release the retro-inspired album "A Wave from the Sidelines"; a love letter to the sound of the 80's meant for people to listen to during a late night drive.
The guitars were put aside while big drums, over-the-top tom fills, and Juno synthesizers united for a challenging yet successful transformation of songs written on acoustic guitar into a "Wall of Sound" reminiscent of the 80's. The album was recorded and produced by Razmig Tekeyan in the band's own studio and mastered by Tommy Steuer (TS-Musix Studios, Leipzig).
"'A Wave from the Sidelines' is my take on the Synth-Wave-genre. I hope people will enjoy listening to it as much as I loved making it." (Razmig Tekeyan, 2018)
