Foundlings

Foundlings are a United Kingdom act associated with a blend of spoken-style vocals and lyrics about travel and movement. Their sound is described in terms of gentle progressive krautrock, with a contradictory jangle from a Rickenbacker twelve-string guitar. The music is also linked with elements of motorway imagery and psychogeographic themes, and it is compared by commentators to a range of artists and styles including My Bloody Valentine, One More Grain, Robert Calvert, Mark E. Smith, Boards of Canada, Tortoise, and the Stone Roses.

The group is presented as a distinctive combination of jangle, progressive rock and krautrock influences, with vocals that sit close to speech and a sound that is noted for its contrast between melodic texture and mechanical momentum.
