Dave Vamfer’s Find the Sound returns in 2025 as a reissued edition that reshapes the album with careful refinements and three track updates. The re-release emphasizes clarity and cohesion while maintaining the eclectic mix of genres that originally defined his debut.
The album opens with the reworked “Keep On Coming EDM,” immediately highlighting Vamfer’s knack for blending pop hooks with electronic textures. Tracks like “Because We’re Ending” and “If There’s A Purpose?” balance emotive lyrics with layered instrumentation, including subtle keyboard flourishes and guitar accents that lend the songs depth and nuance.
The updated sequencing makes the album feel more deliberate. The shortened “Dark Dawn Blues” is tighter and more focused, while the replacement of the live track with the “Tricks of Life Medley” resolves previous pacing issues. Even with a mix of rock, EDM, and light jazz influences, the album flows effortlessly, a testament to Vamfer’s skill as both musician and producer.
His interpretation of “Scarborough Fair” stands out, a gentle and precise nod to English folk traditions that contrasts beautifully with the modern pop sensibilities of the surrounding tracks. Throughout, Vamfer’s vocals carry a calm confidence, drawing the listener in without needing to dominate the arrangement.
As Vamfer puts it, “I make music because I love music. Music has, and continues to give me, pleasure in many forms including excitement, relaxation, escapism and solace.” That sentiment is reflected in the listening experience: an album that invites the audience to linger in both upbeat and quiet moments, fully appreciating the craftsmanship and emotion behind each track.
