tree little milk egg book and other non sequiturs

A recent arrival round here, is the rather superb new album by The Twelve Hour Foundation.
For lovers of Library Music, The Radiophonic Workshop and Musique Concrete, this album is an absolute must (in fact even if you are not into those musical genres you really should still have a listen, and if you don't...then hold your head in shame, because you are missing out) what is instantly noticeable is the pure pop that rears it head on tracks like, Watching the Wires, Quoits, Analog Jam, In the Meantime and Canned Light, all guaranteed to get you tapping your feet and humming constantly at a later date. Fans of The Radiophonic Workshop/Jon Baker should listen to the track The Long Divison. Tree little milk egg book and other non sequiturs is out now on the Castles in Space label and is available from here. The Vinyl version of this album is released in a super-limited edition of 280 copies, pressed on “green ginger” splatter vinyl.
The Twelve Hour Foundation evoke distant, half-remembered experiences and objects ... the grouting between slabs of memory. Indeed, following live performances, audience members frequently approach the duo, saying they had been affected by the music, but couldn’t put their finger on why. The majority of tracks were built using a pair of 40-year-old synthesisers, mixed with treated field recordings and sounds created from samples of household objects: plastic tubing, bottles, corks, a wire draining rack, electrical appliances and the human body.
