4...according to our Maggie on Fri 02 Feb, 2007.

Now a few 7”, the first being a split from HOW TO SWIM and FOUND on Creeping Bent and first up we have FOUND with Static 68. It's understated and gentle with quirky keyboards and wobbly but pleasant harmonies backing up a Beck style man and his guitar. In fact now I've made the reference it's definitely got that Beck feel with a chorus that reaches for the stars making it only as far as the moon. T'other side is like a knees up with excited front man and apparently 10 other members which is hard to hear where they are, unless they're all dancing the Bez way….. Oh I spoke to soon …here they are flute, brass and now its noodling along lovely, all jazzy and nutty sounding a little bit like the Coral. The 30 seconds when everyone is playing sounds terrific. Nice job

WHAT GOES ON radio promotion is delighted to announce the first release on the new Black Label / Pocket Radiodrops singles club through The Creeping Bent Organisation. The split 7” single features FOUND and HOW TO SWIM, two of Scotland’s most striking and innovative groups. FOUND formed in Edinburgh via Aberdeen Art College, and have created a pot pouri of sound and design. Found released their debut single, “Mullokian”, to much acclaim in 2006…the video was picked up by MTV and the single was well supported at BBC 6Music. Shortly afterwards, Found were asked to play the BBC Electric Proms in Camden, which they followed with a limited edition release of their debut album (Found Can Move) on their own imprint, Surface Pressure.Now signed to the Creeping Bent ORG, Found contribute “Static 68” to their side of the 7”. HOW TO SWIM is an 11 - piece voodoo - cabaret group from Glasgow. Based around the songs and vision of vocalist Ink Wilson, HTS released a mini-album last year on Stow College’s Electric Honey label, whose track record includes Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro. HTS’s contribution to the split 7” is “This Is The Way That It Should Be”, and encapsulates perfectly the excitement of their live performances. FOUND, HOW TO SWIM, & SAY JANSFIELD play Cargo, Shoreditch, London on 31st JAN to launch Creeping Bent’s singles club.
