FOUND
Our Old Sketchy Demos
Last night we launched our new album at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh (although the album’s not officially out in the shops until 14 March). We’re been getting lots of lovely reviews of the record and people have been commenting on how it’s much more of a professional, grown-up sound. So this week we wanted [...]
Skinny Cover Models
Those foolish folks at The Skinny have seen fit to make us their cover models for the month of March (I would say it’s gonna damage sales if it weren’t a free paper). On top of this they’ve written a very nice feature about us, given the album 4/5 and even allowed Ziggy to rant [...]
Gemini Theme
This week’s free download is an usual one (even by our standards): it’s a soundtrack for a comic book. Gemini Theme was written to accompany our friend Christian Ward‘s comic Olympus. (Some of you may be familiar with Christian’s beautiful record sleeves for The Pictish Trail and Player Piano). The story of Olympus goes something [...]

Is This The Worst FOUND Song Ever?
After 20 weeks of bringing you high quality free music, the jig is up … is this the worst FOUND song ever? We certainly thought so and no sooner than it was finished, it was consigned to the bin. Originally intended to be part of The Fidelities EP the song is called She’s Interfering and [...]
FOUND & Aidan Moffat win Vital Sparks Award
We are extremely happy to announce that we’ve been successful in our application for a Creative Scotland Vital Sparks Award. We’re not going to reveal too much about the project yet but over the next year or so FOUND will be collaborating with Aidan Moffat to create a major new artwork that will be unveiled [...]
Johnny . . . Iona Marshall’s Cover Version
Last December our good friend Alan Oates invited us to play his Leith Tape Club Xmas Special in the belly of a boat on the Shore. Alan asked each of the bands playing to cover one of the others’ songs which he would record for the Tape Club. We chose to cover The Oates Field‘s [...]

We want you to draw a portrait of one of us and email a jpeg to competitions@theskinny.co.uk by 23 February. We’ll select our favourite drawings [...]
Grovesnor ‘Find A Way To Stop Him’ (FOUND Remix)
Grovesnor (aka Robert Smoughton) produced one of my favourite albums of 2010 in Soft Return. We first met Rob when he was playing in the post math rock outfit The Naciente Quartet. We played a few gigs with them in London and Edinburgh around the time of our first album. At the time I was [...]
