Thirteen Lost and Found

the follow-up to rm hubbert's magnificent debut 'first and last' is finally released. entitled 'thirteen lost and found', produced by alex kapranos and featuring contributions from, amongst others, aidan moffat, marion kenny and hanna tuulikki, rafe fitzpatrick, alasdair roberts, john ferguson, luke surherland, emma pollock and alex kapranos himself. 'thirteen lost and found' was conceived by hubbert as a way of reacquainting himself with old friends while making some new ones. each piece was written collaboratively with the respective artists placing the emphasis on spontaneity and experimentation. the resulting collection is eclectic and beautiful: voice, percussion, violin, piano, banjo, accordion, vibraphone and gu zheng all joining hubbert's idiosyncratic guitar over the eleven songs.
