The Twelve Hour Foundation
Formed in 2013, The Twelve Hour Foundation came together following requests for performances of Jez Butler’s album The Lighter Side of Concrete.
Although Polly had previously attributed it to a side-project, the name was adopted for the live line-up and is now permanent.
The Bristol-based duo mix elements of musique concrète, 1970s library music, early electronic pop, and the Radiophonic work of John Baker and Paddy Kingsland.

Listening to Expanded & Repurposed is like tuning into a channel abandoned decades ago and discovering that it is still broadcasting.
