Foundling

A hushed, skeletal collection of late-night folk. Stripped of his usual electronic pulses, Gray delivers his most vulnerable and atmospheric set of songs.

It's the record David Gray made for himself when he stopped caring about the charts and just wanted to whisper in the dark.

A weary, skeletal intimacy that feels like a private confession whispered in a cold, empty room.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The skeletal piano chords on the title track that feel like they are echoing in an empty hall.
The way Gray's voice cracks with genuine exhaustion during the final refrain of 'Davey Jones’ Locker'.
The sudden, jarring lyrical clarity of 'What in God's name were we thinking of' cutting through the atmospheric haze of 'In God’s Name'.
