It serves as the Canadian hardcore band's second single from their upcoming album, 'One Day', which is scheduled to arrive through Merge Records on January 27.
Following the lead single and the record's title track, Found is a rousing, rowdy offering, of which guitarist and songwriter Mike Haliechuk had this to say:
"I used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America, and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age. Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century to build the streets I walk on. I thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until I realised I am one of those big buildings.
"The name of the song comes from the Shadi Bartsch translation of The Aeneid, where she points out that the words "found" and "stab" open and close the book, which are two meanings for the same Greek verb. That discovery is actually conquest, and that settlement is always violence. And that any story I try to tell myself about the place I found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another."
