You Never Know

You Never Know

Indie-pop luminary Geographer (the solo project for Mike Deni) delivers a synth dance track centering around the notion of the unknown & coming to terms with not having all the answers on “You Never Know”. Mike expands, “All of life around us is a mystery. And we do our best to explain it. But why are we so uncomfortable admitting that it’s all just our best guess? That was my jumping-off point for You Never Know: exploring the remarkable human ability to lie to oneself. It’s always baffled me how we can convince ourselves of the wildest notions. All in service of what, discomfort with our own mortality, the apparent futility of our actions, the seemingly random and often cruel passage of events? We try so hard to figure out what’s going on. I certainly have, and it’s brought me mostly grief. Maybe it would be better to accept that we don’t, and never will, know.” The song trades off between verses with building on a baroque-esque melody with the responsive chorus addressing in a modern electronic trope the simple truth that ultimately “we will never know baby.” Central to the Geographer sound is Mike’s clear and compelling voice, which EARMILK describes as “synonymous with the word angelic” and is reminiscent of contemporaries such as Electric Guest, St. Lucia, & Local Natives.
