Sounds Like
"DIY folk quintet FOUND treat their songs like scientific art experiments, throwing in glitches and the clunks of random household objects. Their excellent second LP has strong hints of the Beta Band and Tunng, but singer Ziggy Campbell's discount-whisky croon is unmistakable" Dazed and Confused
"They look like vagrants – but when it comes to ideas, they're one of the richest bands around. FOUND sound like a punch-up between Paolo Nutini and Captain Beefheart." New of the World
"Theirs is an ever-evolving musical voyage gliding somewhere between The Earliers' psychedelic pulse, Arab Strap's woozy wonder-pop and an explosion in an Indie vinyl pressing plant." Clash
"Lead singer Ziggy Campbell's introspective patter and crisp tone guide you through the musical undergrowth. Along the way there are frolicsome tubas ('Some Fracas of a Sissy'), serenading mandolins ('Gifted'), and a sampler versus distortion pedal catfight ('Reshaping'), showcasing the experimental terrain that now defines nu folk." Observer Music Monthly
“Unpredictable, noisy, melodic, daft, electronic-art-pop.” The Skinny
?"A grown-up, slick sonic treat, and surely – especially now that it comes with the Fence seal of approval – this could be the album that opens them up to a wider audience." The List
"This is modern psychedelia that owes little to the music of the 60s and everything to the present and future . . . This Mess is full of the kind of cut and paste, lo-fi treats you would associate with the likes of Super Furry Animals and FOUND have made an album which reflects both the bleak winters of Scotland and the uplifting warmth in the hearts of the people." Is This Music
“the sound of a band fulfilling their potential, showcasing their work in a refined way and appealing to a broad church of listeners. It will make your life better. 5/5” The Skinny
“An enormously promising group of talents just landed. 4/5” The List
“Scotland’s strangest new band” The Scotsman
“FOUND has stumbled upon a winning formula” The Sunday Times
“a small but perfectly formed slice of pop wonder. 5/5” DMC
“Real talent to watch out for. 5/5” Big Chill
"their sound is so progressive, so completely unique, it’s demeaning to tie it to the stale confines of a label. Instead, we should be celebrating the euphoria created by their extraordinary kaleidoscopic soundscapes. 9/10" Drowned in Sound
