Former bare-knuckle boxer from Yorkshire, England, Findlay was heralded by many critics as the UK s answer to Jose Gonzales when his debut album, Separated By The Sea, was released in the UK on Peacefrog Records in 2007. The release garnering much praise, including a 5* review in the Guardian, where Dave Simpson described it as the most unlikely classic of the year.

Love Will Find You moves beyond Findlay s earlier folk sound to a more ambitious and soulful place. Produced by Bernard Butler (Suede), the album features songs that are lush and intimate, influenced as much by Phil Spector and Ennio Morricone as by Roy Orbison or The Beatles. His music is courageous, triumphant, challenging and otherworldly.

Love Will Find You came together while Findlay was stuck on his sister s couch nursing a broken leg (after having been run over by a cab driver!). I d already started going back and listening to a lot of records I d grown up on, like Elvis Presley, soul music, doo wop, Phil Spector, The Righteous Brothers and the like. I had an idea about making a modern record influenced by the songwriting of the late 50 s and early 60 s. I just started writing, trying to work out what made a universally great song, like Stand By Me . These new songs are the first part of that process.

Following a successful tour with Duffy in the UK Fall 2008, Findlay comes to the U.S. for a few shows in February, and will release Love Will Find You here in the spring.
