David Gray @ Fraze Pavilion

Foundling — the stunning new effort by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter David Gray — begins with those evocative and somewhat mysterious words. What follows is an extraordinary song cycle of rare and timeless power that bears a rather fitting title. As people today may or may not remember, the word "foundling” is defined as "an infant found after its unknown parents have abandoned it.” And as Gray puts it with a warm laugh, "Foundling sort of arrived at my door without my asking it to, so it felt very appropriate for this album.”

In a sense, Foundling also marks another notable arrival — the second coming of David Gray’s own second coming — and one that truly "sprung like a wild orchid” in its own right. By 2005, Gray had already enjoyed what has been a rather distinguished career as a singer-songwriter and recording artist, having sold more than 12 million albums, including his global left-field smash, 1998′s White Ladder, which remains the single best selling album in Irish history.
