The Foundling Wheel

About Me

The Foundling Wheel builds noise-saturated mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bitcrushed distortion. A solo act, his brutally overdriven guitars, loops, and samples twist and career between twitchy introspection and a "wail of screeching banshee sonics.” Pretty collides with ugly and melodies shatter into shimmering pieces.
The Foundling Wheel started in 2007 and has shared the stage with Pivot, So So Modern, Zombie Zombie, Drum Eyes, Felix Kubin, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and is part of the Bear Scotland collective with Meursault, DeadBoyRobotics, Withered Hand, and Enfant Bastard. His eponymous debut album was released in 2008. The single “Noises Like Ashes”, initially released in March 2009 on tentracks.co.uk, will be released widely in June.
