Found - the keepers of the beloved Cybraphon are back on the road - see Play for dates - to launch their new album Factorycraft (on Chemikal Underground out 14th March 2011).

Found find it impossible to sit still and receiving their latest mailout is like receiving news of the equivalent output of four bands. Beginning with their ComputerScheisse. This year's mix features some of FOUND's favourite music, past present and future with an extra special contribution from Malcolm Middleton (Domino Publishing) who sang the Men Without Hat's 'Safety Dance'over a J Dilla instrumental. Found Free Friday's are now in their 16 week  this week it's King Creosote's sublime reworking of Admission Number Two. They also dabbled in a Detroit Techno version of Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Their new sound installation The End Of Forgetting is on show from now until 11 February as part of the Material Rites exhibition, at the RBS Gallery, South Kensington, London.

If you haven't checked out Cybraphon I urge you to make haste and check it out - it should be lumbering down to London soon.

Here’s a trailer for ‘I Kontact’, the first single from  a new project by Domino Publishing's Sam Mehran (ex of Test Icicles) coming out fully on April 16th.  The underground US label Hippos in Tanks are putting it out in the states and it’s a low key Weird World (Domino Records) in Europe.

Although now firmly settled in New York City, Young Magic’s three members came together through equal helpings of openness and fortuity. In 2010, singer and producer Isaac Emmanuel had left his home continent of Australia to travel across Europe, over to New York, and down through Mexico, all the while creating and recording music with whatever instruments he found along the way. While in Mexico, Emmanuel kept a tight correspondence with fellow Australian expat Michael Italia, who for months had been similarly traveling across Europe and South America with portable recording gear in tow. They decided to meet up in New York, where their good friend from a few years prior, Indonesian-born vocalist Melati Malay, had been living and making her own recordings. In early 2011 the three friends, who had initially bonded over their broad musical palettes, began recording together and contributing songs to the record, culling influences and finding their own footing among them.

Young Magic release their album Melt on 14th February 2012 on Carpark Records. More information
