The Seldon Plan reemerges with whimsy with their highly anticipated album LOST AND FOUND AND LOST, a worthy follow-up to their 2007 record THE COLLECTIVE NOW. Praised for its "catchy simple melodies awash with lush vocals, hip full guitars, and a hint of Flaming Lips" by artist/composer Mark Degli Antoni (David Byrne/Soul Coughing) and dubbed "smart pop with no wasted space" by record producer Brian McTernan (Senses Fail/Piebald/Thrice), LOST AND FOUND AND LOST plays with images of childhood nostalgia to embrace the economic and political pendulum.

The Baltimore-based indie pop rockers are known for their "tuneful-wistful rock" (The Washington Post) and "literate, yet still youthful" (Allmusic) sound. Aptly named, LOST AND FOUND AND LOST portrays the juxtaposition of excitement and uncertainty in a country undergoing a changing political situation. "These were the hardest lyrics I've ever had to write, but now that they're out, I feel really energized," says singer/songwriter Michael Nestor.

Calling their latest LP "a burst of new flavor", The Big Takeover's Jack Rabid expressed delight at the "Baltimore foursome's continued maturation" and compared it favorably to "melodic pop favorites such as Feelies' offshoot Wild Carnation, Winnipeg's wonderful Weakerthans, great Scots Camera Obscura, and Portland's Dimes."
