Free Music Update

Hello folks, I just thought I’d write a little post about some FOUND related freebies that are kicking around the internet this week. Firstly our new single Anti Climb Paint came out on Monday and there’s three free remixes available – the instrumental version of S-Type’s remix plus mixes from Japanese War Effort and Jonnie Common. All are available to download now from our bandcamp page, but why not buy the single while you’re at it?

Secondly FOUND’s very own Kev Sim is set to release his solo debut ‘Volume One’ on Glasgow’s Phuturelabs label on 27 June under the River of Slime moniker. As a wee preview taster you can download S-Type‘s remix (that guy’s everywhere these days!) from XLR8R.

And lastly I’ve been doing quite a lot of remix work myself recently and London music blog The Line of Best Fit are giving away my reworking of Conquering Animal Sound‘s forthcoming single Tracer here.

I hope you enjoy the gifts. Have a great weekend,

Nuala


Nuala Kennedy kindly supplied vocals on three songs from FOUND’s new album factorycraft. My favourite track she sings on is Anti Climb Paint, mainly because we’ve sang it together quite a few times in different circumstances and with different bands. I’ve got good memories of singing with her.

Nuala is exceptional as a singer, musician and songwriter, but more importantly she is completely fearless. Though her background is in traditional music she’s a far more dynamic character and clearly can’t be fenced in to this genre. This shows through her history of collaborations. She’s worked with Will Oldham, Norman Blake, Euros Child and Oliver Schroer to name but a few.

Nuala is, however, a wee bit of a mental case.

This makes going for a drink with her in Leith a great laugh because she’s pals with all the local characters. In fact, she gives it some chat everywhere she goes, the world over. She’s got loads of bonkers stories from her travels. Though I’ve only ever played in Scotland with her I’m constantly amazed at how many people speak to her. She’s the most famous person I know.

I get annoyed with musicians with a sense of entitlement. Fuck them. Nuala organises her own tours all over Europe and America and is totally unflinching when doing so. When hard work is on the horizon she bolts towards it, screaming and swearing in her funny wee Irish accent. Like I said, completely fearless . . . and a wee bit mental.

FOUND (quite possibly a band of musicians with a sense of entitlement) were so keen on making our album sleeve minimal, austere and enigmatic, we totally forgot to credit her for her vocal talents. Hopefully this will go some way towards making that up to Nuala.

. . . FOUND love Nuala . . . you should too.

Cybraphon on Tour


After the glowing reception of our third LP factorycraft, Cybraphon has grown extremely jealous of FOUND, so we’re throwing some of the limelight back onto our emotional robot band and taking it on the road. From Thursday 7 – Wednesday 20 April Cybraphon will be installed in the Richmix Cafe as part of the London Word Festival. On the evening of 19 April FOUND will be joining Cybraphon at Richmix (along with a host of other weird and wonderful performers) for a night of entertainment entitled Man/Machine.

Then from Friday 22 April – Thursday 28 April Cybraphon will be resident in the stunning De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea, as part of their ‘a nod to Cage’ John Cage legacy exhibition. FOUND will also be giving a performance on Friday 22 April as part of the De La Warr’s Random Fridays.

If either of these exhibitions are in your locale please pop along and antagonise our moody robot.
