Belgian knob-twiddling crooner Dieter Sermeus has returned with Everybody Knows It’s Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight his followup to 2007′s Stars On The Wall. Just in time to cash in on Owl City’s success. Just kidding. We’re told the electro-acoustic collection’s “a celebration of sincere love.” You should be able to hear a bit of that in the smooth, hushed title track (complete with horns). Also, maybe I haven’t had enough coffee, but the vocal melody reminds me of (whispered) Jets To Brazil.
The other titles:
01 “Everybody Knows It’s Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight”
02 “Love Will Break Us Up”
03 “It’s Automatic”
04 “Neighbourhood”
05 “One Hundred Percent”
06 “Stay”
07 “Lottery Man”
08 “Cherry Pie”
09 “Running Mates”
10 “Just A Common Love”
11 “Heart Of Gold”
Everybody Knows It´s Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight is out 2/14 via Morr.

This guy is a class act. Nice to see a so called “knob twiddler” who can actually compose a good tune.
Vekatimest cover art…right? The exact right font…
No and no.
Ha no, it’s not the same at all.
That said, I do love the art a lot and that’s why I listened…and I like this song a lot too! Very beautiful when the horns and pretty sounds come in.
That’s nice – kind of reminds me of Earlimart. I’ll definitely be checking the album out. Thanks!
Good stuff indeed. I liked the previous two albums as well. Pity they haven’t been able to create a lot of awareness. Not even in Belgium.
“Stars on the wall” was great. Check it out if you like Styrofoam or (dare I say it) the Postal Service.
how do i download the mp3s from the streams?
right click and save as.
What is the deal with people that call Owl City a Postal Service rip off and still praise this guy?The music in every song he does sounds like it could have been on ‘Give Up’. The only reason he doesn’t sound exactly like them is because he doesn’t have the same vocal quality as Ben Gibbard -even though the style is perfectly aped. Don’t get me wrong. I like the music, but lets be fair. – Oh, I forgot where I was for a minute. Never mind.
