‘You’re Really Quite The Catch’ is the latest single from our bleep-hop boyband, FOUND – and finds the band in fighting pop form.  Pinched from recent album This Mess We Keep Reshaping, the song has been tweaked a wee bit.  It’s coming out on gorgeous white vinyl, and is backed with a remix by King Creosote.

On the A-Side, frontman Ziggy Campbell’s drunken slur is raspier than ever, and there’s now a female foil to his flirtation.  These stunning backing vocals come courtesy of Lisa Lindley-Jones (British Sea Power, King Creosote, Jon Hopkins), and make for a match in heaven.  You can sample a wee bit on the Fence Records MySpace page…

“I think me and you could last, cos you’re really quite the catch …”

The B-side, Admission Number 2 (King Creosote Admission Number 9 remix), gives a melancholy shuffle to the original (also taken from This Mess …).  Label boss, King Creosote, provides the mix for this – and, in true KC style, opera samples abound, with weird synth and accordion swaying in the background …

The single is the sixth release in our Secret 7’s collection – and was given away FREE to all ticketholders of our upcoming Hallowe’en bash.  If you didn’t manage to get a ticket, don’t worry – the single will be on sale from the Fence Webshop on November 3rd.

The A-side, Alsation Gull Scene is propelled by titanic drums, tearing vocals, slap-happy banjo and FOUND’s trademark circuit-board, meltdown electronics. The song expresses songwriter Ziggy Campbell’s desire to leave the trappings of contemporary society and become the Queen of Aberdeen’s king-sized seagulls.

The AA-side, Some Fracas of a Sissy, opens with a groove that pays homage to the skills of hip hop producers such as Madlib and MF Doom. Mid-way through, the song disintegrates into a vintage gramophone sample and climaxes with a wild, psych-rock outro.

The EP is completed by He Never Came Back, a languid blend of beats, thumb piano and vocal harmonies.

Edinburgh art-poppers, FOUND, mark their debut on Fence Records with 11 tracks of electronic bleep-hop song wizardry.

As the title suggests, This Mess We Keep Reshaping is an album awash with starts and stops, where songs build, reset themselves, and regenerate again into something different – from the twisting key changes of opener ‘Plotkiller’, to the shifting gonzo-squawks and squeaks of ‘See Ferg’s In London’; from the progressive chanting layers of ‘Admission Number Two’, to the desperate breaking pleads of ‘When You Fall’.

With each new start, pop’s possibilities are explored; ideas bounce around mirrored parts, echoing into unexpected tunnels and turns, before resurfacing – strengthening the song with their kaleidoscopic hooks.

Synth Like Minds is the third 7″ single to be released from FOUND’s debut album Found Can Move. Like many classic pop songs, Synth Like Minds is an ode to two early speech synthesisers built in the 60s called PAT and OVE. The inspiration for the song came from the Linguistics department of Edinburgh University where FOUND’s singer Ziggy Campbell works as a sound engineer. It was here that Ziggy unearthed a rare recording of the two speech synthesisers ‘singing’ a duet of the traditional song ‘The More We Are Together’ and was moved to compose a tribute.

Pressed on vibrant orange vinyl, the record comes with two brand-new b-sides: the dark and moody interlude Pedro Had To Leave and the wonky Prince-inspired funk of The Very Fabric.

Static 68 is out now on Creeping Bent, available on limited edition 7″. Buy it from Boomkat / download it from Bleep. Oh and watch the video.

Debut album ‘Found Can Move’ is out now on CD from Surface Pressure Records.

Following quick on the heels of the single ‘Mullokian’, Surface Pressure Records released ‘Found Can Move’ the debut album from FOUND, in May 2006.
‘Mullokian’ earned the band critical acclaim and widespread radioplay across the BBC, XFM London and XFM Scotland. But ‘Mullokian’ was merely an appetiser for the many different flavours of ‘Found Can Move’: from the claustrophobic electronics and self deprecating lyrics of the title track; to the twisted garage rock of Synth Like Minds; from the eerie, late-night soul of Turnstile; to the energetic pop of Static 68, the album serves up tasty treats to suit every palate.

At just under 40 minutes, ‘Found Can Move’ is a concise manifesto for FOUND’s intentions: the album succeeds at being inventively experimental and at the same time irresistibly pop. Ziggy Campbell’s playful song writing brings to mind the lyricism of Tom Waits and, perhaps more fittingly, the work of fellow country man Ivor Cutler. The album packaging also reflects FOUND’s cheeky, playful side as they invite you all to enter a ‘colouring-in competition’ – the winner’s artwork will adorn the forthcoming remix album ‘Can Found Move’.

FOUND are Ziggy Campbell, Tommy Perman, Kev Sim, Gavin Sutherland and Alan Stockdale. All five members are multi-instrumentalists, and ‘Found Can Move’ contains a wealth of instrumentation and unusual sound sources including banjos, organs, vintage synths, melodica, squeeze boxand sublime double bass performed by guest musician Emma Smith (who also played on Gorillaz ‘Demon Days’).
