Simon Karolis: Where To Find Back The Flow

Simon Karolis, nom-de-plume of Dutch musician Arend Jan van der Scheer, had to find time between his job as a teacher and being a father to write and record the songs for his Where To Find Back The Flow album. Being boxed in with his everyday chores and professional responsibilities only enhanced his urge to break free and focus on his dreams of becoming an artist. With telling song titles as Grounded and Oh How I Long For Something New it is abundantly clets that reality has the nasty habit of getting in the way of his ambitions.

Switching between acoustic folk and restrained electric indie rock Van der Scheer searches for answers. He is fully aware that solutions for his predicaments will keep eluding him. When he wakes up from his daydreams, he will be confronted with yet another to-do list, targets and other stuff that will pop up unexpectedly. This is not a good time to try to be vulnerable and creative in an uncaring world obsessed with technology and political turmoil.

Where To Find Back The Flow will be released via Tiny Room Records (vinyl, digital) on November 13.
