Description
FOUND follow up 2015s futuristic album Cloning with a look back at the past in Terra Nova.
Dr William Clark Souter travelled to Antarctica in 1903 on board the Terra Nova ship bound to rescue Captain Scotts RRS Discovery from ice. Souter was a junior doctor based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who was also a keen photographer and was allowed to document the expedition. FOUND were commissioned by Grampian Hospital Arts Trust to create a response to Dr Souters photographs that are housed within the University of Aberdeen Special Collections. The project culminated in the exhibition TERRA NOVA at The Suttie Arts Space in ARI, from December 2015 to February 2016 and the production of this record.
On Terra Nova the sound of FOUND is wreathed in a fog of analogue synthesizers where once it buzzed with brittle guitars.
The limited edition 300-run gatefold LP is pressed on 180gsm vinyl and includes a digital download code.
Praise for FOUND Cloning:
Comes over like a Caledonian Soft Cell with some of the claustrophobic urgency of Suicide or early Human League. The List
A wonderfully warm and welcoming record. The Skinny
Cloning is testament to [FOUNDs] restless invention. Essential. Is This Music
A distinctive, dynamic piece of work. Scottish Fiction
The synth symphony of Cloning mixes songs and short instrumental interludes so evocative that they write their own script Reminiscent of an understated Associates. The Scotsman
