My track on The Quietened Dream Palace "

very noisy and chaotic Saturday mornings I spent there.

Six Twenty Negative. The Twelve Hour Foundation


The Twelve Hour Foundation return to Castles in Space with their first new LP for two years. A beautiful album "drawing on abstract childhood emotions and their associated memories".

  Bristol's Twelve Hour Foundation return to Castles in Space with their first new LP since 2018's long sold out "tree little mile egg book...and other non sequiturs". Their blend of musique concrète, treated field recordings, library music, early electronic pop and the Radiophonic work of John Baker and Paddy Kingsland has never sounded better.
I love what Jez and Polly produce as The Twelve Hour Foundation, I also had the pleasure of meeting them both at The Deleware Road Festival Salisbury Plain in 2019. I watched their set and was absolutly blown away. Six Twenty Negative is another superb collection of fantastic Pop tunes created using vintage analogue synthesizers house hold objects. I 100% gaurentee that your foot will be tapping all the way through this album (plus a little bit of dancing round the house, I always do)
