‘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.

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.
