The Found Sound Orchestra – Christmas Midgets [download page]

Disco flipping, bed bugging and reorchestrating over 100 of the best, the worst and the downright wrong Christmas records ever made. Our good friend team9 The Found Sound Orchestra present Christmas Midgets. Stealing bits of Jona Lewie, Burt Bacharach, Nat King Cole, Julie London, Brenda Lee, Demis Rousos, Pariah Carey, The Sunset Band, Pacman and Ronan Keating’s butchering of Fairytale of New York, amongst many more, Christmas music reaches new highs and lows. Like one of those annoying dancing reindeer toys from Target, this will get into your head and ruin the very brightest Christmas.

Here is our pick to make you move:

Here it is – just like we promised last week. A free download of The Found Sound Orchestra‘s new amazing cut-up album Memorabilica. Head over to Team9′s casa and grab it. You won’t be disappointed.

Says mr 9: “I’m incredibly proud of this little album. It’s been massively influenced by the music of our heroes Steinski, Coldcut and Bomb the Bass and it is our hope that it can be slotted in your collection alongside our current favourites by The Avalanches, Quiet Village and Air France. It’s a big ask but here’s hoping you give it a go.”

Here’s a little something to get you going, the brilliant album opener The Sound of the Sun Falling. Enjoy.

We’re proud, happy and very very excited to announce the return of The Found Sound Orchestra, Team9‘s side project with cut-ups and sampling galore.

Next week sees the release of the new, long-awaited FSO album, Memorabilica. I spent the better part of Wednesday listening to it on repeat. And it’s simply amazing. Cool, stylish and very laidback – I just wish we weren’t leaving the summer months here in Sweden. This would’ve definitely made my summer house porch setlist…

Make sure you stop by T9′s next week and download the lot. Meanwhile, here’s a little teaser for you: the brilliant, fonky and very groovy, Right About Midnight. Enjoy!
