Found – ‘Factorycraft’ (Chemikal Underground)

This is Found’s third album, and sees the Edinburgh three piece having moved from one legendary Scots indie label (Fence) to another (Chemikal Underground).

Opening with ‘Anti Climb Paint’ the album showcases a band who continue to hone their sound and songwriting craft. It features a number of excellent songs, including recent single ‘Machine Age Dancing’, the dark and epic closer ‘Blendbetter’ and my favourite track ‘You’re No Vincent Gallo.’ The band continue to pursue their own path, mixing indie and electronica, and much more besides. I makes perfect sense that they’ve toured with labelmates The Phantom Band; in the best possible sense, the two are perfect bedfellows.

Several listens in, I feel that this album could do more than just expand their loyal fanbase, but actually help them make the commercial breakthrough they deserve to. Each successive listen reveals something else, and something really rather delightful…
