factorycraft

'A psychedelic eruption in the factory.' That's how Edinburgh's new garage band on the block, Found describe their sound, which ranges from urgent, Wire-influenced punk to Joe Meek sci-fi pop, cheapo bossa nova and near acid house grooviness within the space of a few tracks. factorycraft, their first album for Chemikal Underground, introduces us to the trio's grubby world: rarely does a debut album have an opening statement as striking as urban love story Anti-Climb Paint. And throughout the album, the title is reflected in mechanically ticking beats, references to assembly lines and precise, brutal guitar stabs. '[Singer] Ziggy used to work in a factory in the Borders,' say the band. '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 into fine art, hence factorycraft.'
