"Goes Missing" was written in-between places, on the run, recorded in a variety of rooms. Lines appear to have been straightened - yet still, their rebel heart is drunk on the outskirts of town. The impulse to dig underneath the bittersweet heart, to invert meaning, shapes the songs of "Goes Missing." Nuts and bubblegum - why can't we have both? With the music in righteous hands, and the distillation of high values to sing-songy ends, paths to the ear are clear even when words go rogue.
"Goes Missing" is about new identity - what's missing is that thing you heard in the past that is not the same thing anymore. It's back there somewhere, if you go looking. When you turn around again, The Cairo Gang "Goes Missing" is waiting.
Bright and colored, like a jukebox shining a light, The Cairo Gang's "Goes Missing" is a stack of sides, piled up, one after another, doo-wops of another age, with synthetic beat and pops that rock for the sake of the song, coming down the chute one after another. Keep on dancing.
