Listen to ‘factorycraft’, the new album by Edinburgh band/art collective FOUND exclusively on ClashMusic.com before its 14th March release on Chemikal Underground records.
Talking about the new album and its title, the band say, “[Singer] Ziggy used to work in a factory in the Borders, he observed that
the most exotic ideas are often FOUND lying amongst the swarf of the factory floor. We liked the idea of turning manual labour in to fine art, hence factorycraft.”
As well as writing and recording this new album, the band have been busy in other fields, recently announcing their involvement on a new Creative Scotland funded project alongside Aidan Moffat. Called ‘Unravel’, it is “a new form of dynamic non-linear storytelling that reacts to audiences and context”. Find out more HERE.
Given the band’s track record, their ‘Cybraphon’ installation bagged them a BAFTA, Clash awaits the results of this new project with baited breath.
