Their output is consistently innovative and brilliantly executed.
A few months ago, I had a dream that I was making a video with them in Cupar’s Fisher & Donaldson bakery. (The lovely family that run the bakery are FOUND uber-fans so this wasn’t a random dream-combo). The dream was mainly composed of me being stuck in a one-way supermarket carpark slip road, desperately trying to get back to ‘the set’ but still. FOUND recently made (the relevant bits of) this dream a reality with the video for their new single ‘Anti Climb Paint’.
However, the wonderful partnership of FOUND (FND) and Fisher & Donaldson (F’n'D) hasn’t stopped there because, Anti Climb Paint is being released as a CHOCOLATE 7″ RECORD. No joke.
I am seriously hoping that these kind of efforts by F’n'D might eventually lead to me being able to download a fudge donut. When that happens, I am finished. But I won’t care.
I’m only making 50 physical copies: MiniCD-R, each packaged with one of the 50 polaroids I used to make the video below. There are four tracks on the CD. These will be available to buy here, next week.
The other track free to download is a kindof accidental rework of the track ‘Maschine’ by my pals Conquering Animal Sound. If you haven’t checked them out yet, YOU SHOULD. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
‘Photosynth’ is on the debut Jonnie Common album Master Of None which, I’m very happy to announce, is being released by Red Deer Club in July.
It’s been 3 weeks now since I launched DESKJOB and there’s been some great feedback.
Honing his multifarious craft as curator, producer and alt-pop svengali, bespectacled tech-wizard Jonnie Common has pulled a sonorous blinder with Deskjob…
Jonnie Common has been about the scene for a wee while now turning his trade in various different bands and for the better of many other acts. Tonight he presents a night promoting his “not remixed” album DESKJOB which features an array of talent from across the country…
a BIG THANKS to everyone involved: The acts, the launch audience, the album purchasers and the reviewers above. I have the horn for you all.
Online copies (available HERE) are almost sold out. Just a reminder, after they’re gone, the album will only be available from the featured acts at their live shows.
I popped round to Glasgow PodcArt HQ last week to chat/waffle about the artists who feature on DESKJOB and spin tracks of theirs from previous releases.
