CAUGHT BY THE RIVER
Thirteen Lost
& Found is produced by long-time friend Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand), and features collaborations with some very special artists including Hanna Tuulikki
(Nalle), Emma Pollock (The Delgados), Luke Sutherland (Long Fin Killie,
Mogwai), Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap), Alex Kapranos and Alasdair Roberts amongst
others.
Having found that it was easier to
connect with people through music, Thirteen Lost & 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;
with the emphasis placed 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.
