Surface Pressure Records brings you 'Mullokian': the first offering from Edinburgh-based four-piece FOUND. 'Mullokian' is being released as a limited edition 7' single to whet your appetites for FOUND's debut long player 'Found Can Move' due out early this summer. It provides the ideal introduction to the sound of FOUND - a delicate mixture of influences drawing from the varied musical worlds of modern electronics, folk, garage rock, and beyond. Written by lead vocalist Ziggy Campbell, the track showcases both his great song writing talents and signature Scottish-Borders drawl, while also displaying the rich musical diversity of the band. Each of the four members is a multi-instrumentalist, and in this instance succeed in cramming acoustic guitar, banjo, keys, melodica, squeeze box and trumpet into a succinct three and a half minutes. Turning over to the b-side finds a bass-heavy dub reworking of 'Mullokian', exclusive to this 7', which combined with the hand-finished sleeves makes for a highly collectable package. FOUND are Ziggy Campbell, Tommy Perman, Kev Sim and Gavin Sutherland. Ziggy, Kev and Tommy met while studying art in the cold granite city of Aberdeen. Since 2001 they have collaborated on various audio and visual art projects. Though they are occasionally drawn back to the gallery environment, the start of 2005 signalled a new beginning as they enlisted the musical abilities of Gavin Sutherland and decided it was high time they formed a pop band. Over the past 12 months the band have enjoyed a rapid rise to success. They have played gigs across the UK, recorded exclusive radio sessions for BBC Radio Scotland, Radio Magnetic and The Selector and made a debut TV appearance on BBC Scotland's 'The Music Show'. MTV Europe have just snapped up the video for 'Mullokian' ( a collaboration with young Edinburgh animator Joe Richardson) and they have just recorded a live session for a major US radio station in the legendary 'Beatles Studio' at Abbey Road. Their much celebrated performances have drawn comparisons to The Beta Band, Tortoise and Tom Waits. From the outset it was considered a necessity that the music being produced by the quartet could translate effectively to a live audience. This desire, coupled with the band's suspicion of, and general feeling of boredom towards, the 'laptop set', pushed them to create an ever evolving live show which combines new technology with their extensive collection of acoustic instruments. While FOUND are always keen to experiment and push themselves in new directions, their music has a strong grounding in melody and structure. It's not often the terms accessible and forward-thinking sit happily together but in the world of FOUND they are the definition of what Pop music should be.'
