We are on the latest fab compilation album from the lovely stolen recordings . As well as our song, Empty Soul, it features fantastic sounds from Artefacts For Space Travel, Tap Tap, Pete & The Pirates, Candy and a whole lot more. It's available here as either a very beautiful cd or a download.

Out now: the debut release from The Factory Owners, a 6 track self-titled E.P. on the 'I Wish I Was Unpopular' label. The CD is available by mail order from the unpop shop and the iwishiwasunpopular website.

The Factory Owners E.P. was reviewed in the December/January issue of our favourite magazine (apart from Oink! of course), Plan B - it was described among other things as 'Great British Weird'.
We quite liked that. You can buy Plan B here , as well as in 'normal' shops.

Our song, 'Elephants Mean Death' appeared on a compilation called C06, put together by the nice people at Indie MP3 . The compilation can be downloaded here .

Review of 'The Tiger' by the esteemed Alistair Fitchett on tangents :
'...Edinburgh's The Factory Owners are more my flavour though, and I have been playing their recent collection of demos with an ever increasing belief that they could be something quite special. Certainly this track recalls a flavour of Felt with a dash of spectral soft psychedelia. That someone should strive to reclaim the phrase 'the eye of the tiger' from the depths of Survivor and Rocky movies is only a bonus.'
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------More from Mr Fitchett :
'The Edinburgh based group have a splendid, eclectic sound that encapsulates the finest spirit of the early ‘80s sound of young Scotland. Nice.'
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------The Factory Owners' fun filled website will go live shortly. And you can contact us or join our mailing list here . But please don't write anything too abusive, as our mothers censor all our mail.
