Picture
"Foundling" is an antiquated word used to describe a baby that had been found after being abandoned by its parents. Gray is said to have chosen this title because this album just sort of showed up on his doorstep. When inspiration like that just sort of comes to you, you must be truly talented. This two-disc release is his ninth. Although this artist's best work is widely believed to be 1998's "White Ladder", each album before and since shares a similar sound. Fans of David Gray will undoubtedly be among those who enjoy this album the most, however the gravity of the content may not be lost on all others. There is a remarkable elegance throughout the album. Instrumentally the album is modest. Most tracks utilize a piano for the primary sound. The lyrics are obscure at times, but nonetheless beautiful and grandiose; real pop poetry. Critically, this record has met mixed reviews. Granted, it's not a masterpiece, but it is far from mediocre.
