S4 07: August 2022 - Festi-Bonkers

It’s the height of festival season, so what better way to spend an hour than in the company of three festival burn-outs, PICTISH TRAIL, LAURA and BART OWL? Join them as they purge their desires and inner-demons to recall their fantasy festival line-ups and darkest memories...

In our first episode of the podcast to be recorded IN PERSON for a long time (since the Free Love episode in 2018, or possibly the Xmas spesh with Malcolm Middleton?), PICTISH TRAIL travels down to Edinburgh to chat face-to-face with LAURA in the confines of her flat, making use of both toilets, under the watchful eye of guest co-host BART OWL. Together they share their memories of the recent HOWLIN’ FLING ISLAND FAMILY GATHERING event on Eigg, delivering all the salacious goss you’ve come to expect from this gibbering podcast. Boobs at the moon? Drunken ceilidh dancing? Two toilets? It’s all in here.

Continuing our festival theme, we've got a clip of a Howlin’ Fling live session from COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS recorded during her visit to Eigg - the full video version of which is available exclusively to POSTMAP CLUB members. We’ve also got new PostMap music from DELIFINGER and THE GN BAND - who respectively offer some insight into their dream festival line-ups and nightmare hellscapes.

We’ve even got a special edition of our First Gig Worst Gig segment, with Oliver from SDF guiding us through his own sordid weekender experiences in FIRST FEST/WORST FEST. It’s almost like being there. So much so, during all the excitement, we’ve lost our pal L.T. LEIF somewhere on site - but they’ve just left us a message telling us where we can find them…

S4 06: July 2022 - Gordon McIntyre, SDF + more

PICTISH TRAIL has been so busy organising the 'Island Family Gathering’ event on Eigg that he's run out of time to record a conversation with LAURA this month - so you'll just have to listen to him all on his own. His voice sounds different on its own, doesn’t it?

We’re half-way through the year, normally a time to take stock, and ruminate over the delights of the past 6 months, while sipping a colourful cocktail, drifting across an outdoor swimming pool on a lilo, wearing only a thong. PICTISH TRAIL doesn’t have time for any of that, mind you. He’s struggling to remember how to erect the food marquee for the upcoming ISLAND FAMILY GATHERING event happening on Eigg this weekend, and has used up all his mobile data perusing unhelpful instructional videos. As such, he’s been unable to have a web-chat with his usual co-host, LAURA. She has managed to send over a lo-fi recording via dial-up, mind you.


GORDON McINTYRE is our featured interview this month, talking us through his songwriting process, and the making of his brand new solo LP, Even With The Support Of Others - which is out on LP on July 15th.
As well as all that, we've got music and tour news from BAS JAN and ALEXIA AVINA, some PostMap Club sounds from a mysterious London-based electronic collective known simply as SDF, plus a full run-down of all the different acts playing at the Island Family Gathering.

S4 05: June 2022 - Susan Bear, LT Leif + more

Now they are seasoned podcasters, Pictish Trail and Laura discover that it’s nigh-on impossible to avoid slipping into Partridge every 5 minutes. The show might as well be called Mid-Morning Mappers, at this point.

Summer has arrived, but PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA are defiantly “taps ann”, and reporting to you from their respective homes on the Isle of Eigg and Edinburgh, with all the latest goss from Lost Map Records. There’s also some chat about chickens.

SUSAN BEAR is our featured interview this month, talking us through her life in music, and all the inside goss on the making of her new solo album, Alter, released on limited edition vinyl on June 10th. We also witness the return of FIRST GIG WORST GIG, with a brand new signing, the Canadian singer-songwriter LT LEIF - a tale which veers from homely to homeless.

On top of all that, we've got a selection of tracks from the other releases in this month's POSTMAP CLUB mail-out - new music from MARANTA and JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS - as well as tracks from releases by SULKA and EMMA KUPA.

S4 04: May 2022 - VISITATIONS - Emma Kupa

A new month means a new pod, but Pictish Trail isn’t even sure what day of the week it is, let alone month … luckily Laura ‘LoHoDo’ is on-board to help steer us through this month’s PostMap Club releases, including the return of our residency project, VISITATIONS...

Back on the Eigg! After a month of touring, PICTISH TRAIL is suddenly realising that he should have done a lot more admin while on the road, and a lot less research of the locations of motorway service stations with a Greggs bakery; meanwhile Lost Map’s in-house sonic-sommelier, LAURA DOHERTY rejoins the pod, and fills us in on the various boozes she’s imbibed whilst pretending to watch a gig.

We are delighted to announce the return of V I S I T ▲ T I O N S, our residency series on the Isle of Eigg, where we invite musicians to stay on the island, and record new music for us. We have integrated the project into our POSTMAP CLUB series, and our featured interview this month is with indie-pop singer-songwriter, EMMA KUPA - who stayed at St Franny’s Bothan for a week in late-June 2021. She tells us of her beginnings in music, her work with STANDARD FARE, THE HAYMAN KUPA BAND, MAMMOTH PENGUINS, as well as the story behind her debut solo album, and - of course - the time she spent on the island making a nine-track mini-album for VISITATIONS. All PostMap Club members will receive the music she made, immediately, and a stand-alone limited edition cassette version will be available to pre-order later this month, due for release mid-June 2022.

On top of all that, we've got a selection of tracks from the other releases in this month's POSTMAP CLUB mail-out - new music from GORDON McINTYRE and SUSAN BEAR - as well as album tracks from releases by ALEXIA AVINA and ALABASTER dePLUME.

S4 03: April 2022 - Pictish Trail on Tour, Alabaster dePlume + more

Pictish Trail and his hairy guitarist, Joe, are sat in a budget hotel, wondering if they can actually produce a coherent podcast while on tour…

Life on the road! Join PICTISH TRAIL in his Premier Inn, as he discusses the perils of touring in the time of COVID, and the perks of having a twin room to himself. Co-host, and fellow band-member, JOE CORMACK slaps some sense into him.

In our featured interview, we catch up with the one and only ALABASTER dePLUME just before he boards a plane to America. He talks us through his brand new album, GOLD, which is out now on Lost Map / International Anthem / Total Refreshment Centre.

We’ve got a selection of tracks from this month’s POSTMAP CLUB mail-out, including clips of new music by MOLLY LINEN, BAS JAN x CROOKED MAN and DELIFINGER.

S4 02: March 2022 - James Acaster, Savage Mansion + more

Pictish Trail and Laura spill the details on an upcoming Isle of Eigg event, then guide you through this month’s releases on the Lost Map label; Savage Mansion talk us through their incredible new album; and comedian James Acaster reveals his First Gig Worst Gig experiences.

When popular Hebridean songsmith PICTISH TRAIL sang the song ‘IT CAME BACK’, he wasn’t just referring to a recurring bout of illness … he was, of course, hinting at the return of Howlin’ Fling! - the live music event he hosts on the Isle of Eigg. In todays episode he regales co-host LAURA DOHERTY with all the details of a new Howlin’ Fling event, ISLAND FAMILY GATHERING, happening over July 1st & 2nd.


In our feature piece, we’re joined by Craig Angus and Beth Chalmers from the Glagow-based alt-rock titans SAVAGE MANSION, who reveal all about the making of their recently released new album, Golden Mountain, Here I Come.


We’ve also got a genuine celeb on the show - JAMES ACASTER (who stars in the video of the previously mentioned Pictish Trail song, ‘IT CAME BACK’). He’s taking part in our First Gig Worst Gig segment this month, and does not hold back. The fact that he does this all while simultaneously hula-hooping makes his confessions all the more emotional.

As always, we’ve got a selection of tracks from this month’s POSTMAP CLUB mail-out, including clips of new music by SUSAN BEAR, GORDON McINTYRE and ALEXIA AVINA.

S4 01: February 2022 - Bas Jan, Maranta + More

Your favourite podcast about a Hebridean record label is back with a brand new series, and an all new format (that is actually totally the same as the last series, but with a co-host, and maybe 30% more swearing).

Isle of Eigg-dwelling / Buckfast-swilling maestro and label boss, PICTISH TRAIL is accompanied by his good pal, Scottish internet Z-List celebrity LAURA ‘Dohoodle’ DOHERTY, for a brand new, slightly revamped series of the Lost Map Podcast.

In our feature piece, all four members of BAS JAN tell us about the making of their critically acclaimed brand new album, Baby U Know. And Callum and Gloria from Edinburgh synth-poppers MARANTA join us for our regular segment, FIRST GIG WORST GIG. This segment contains a description of sexual assault. [39:00 - 46:00]

As always, we’ve got a selection of tracks from this month’s POSTMAP CLUB mail-out, including clips of new music by ALABASTER dePLUME and JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS, as well as tracks from forthcoming LP releases by SAVAGE MANSION and Pictish himself.

S3 15: January 2022 - The Other Side Of Season 3

PICTISH TRAIL resists the urge to do a nine hour docu-series about the making of the Lost Map Podcast, and instead dives into tracks you might have missed, some deep-cuts and hidden gems from records released over the past series.

S3 14: December 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Callum Easter, Gordon McIntyre + more

Our last podcast of 2021 is filled with all the festive trimmings you might expect from a trolley dash around your local branch of Iceland at 7.45pm on Christmas Eve. Which is to say, not very festive at all. Still there’s some discount Eigg-nog on offer, and new music from Lost Map playing over the tannoy.

PICTISH TRAIL is about to leave the Hebrides on a boat to the mainland, to host a weekend of Lost Map showcases… but not before he’s spilled all the juice on what’s to come for the label in 2022.

Ahead of his headline peformance at the Edinburgh edition of our HUMBUG! weekender, CALLUM EASTER talks us through the making of his brand new album, System, which is out now on Moshi Moshi Records in association with Lost Map.

GORDON McINTYRE, he of ballboy fame, ingratiates himself as part of the Lost Map family with some painful gigging memories in our regular FIRST GIG WORST GIG segment. You can hear his new Xmassy song ‘Berlin’, too.

There’s also an introduction into the synth-pop world of MARANTA, as well as the first play of a new song from FIRESTATIONS.



EPISODE TRACKLISTING:
1. Maranta - ’Stop Pretending’

2. Clips of Callum Easter’s System

3. Callum Easter - ‘Lose Sometime’

4. Gordon McIntyre - ‘Berlin’

5. Firestations - ‘Reflection Spells'

S3 13: November 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Herbert Powell + Martha Ffion + more

November’s edition of the Lost Map Podcast features the celebrity voices of Alan Rickman, Craig Ferguson, Anthony Fantano, and Luigi from Mario Kart, and yet none of these people actually appear. What does that mean? You must listen, my friends.


PICTISH TRAIL has got so much to tell you about forthcoming album projects, and our newly announced HUMBUG! Christmas shows, but instead he’s decided to have an existential crisis about his lack of knowledge of the Incredible String Band back-catalogue. Bear with him, folks.

HERBERT POWELL’s long-awaited debut LP, Here In My Scheme, Here It Ends is finally released on November 5th, and their interview about the making of it is every bit as funny, weird, angular and erotic as the album itself. The band headline the Glasgow edition of HUMBUG! at Mono on Saturday 4th December. Tickets: https://www.lostmap.com/tickets/humbug

MARTHA FFION takes us down memory lane, sharply turns around and stabs us in the gut with her painful recollections in First Gig Worst Gig. Thankfully we’re soothed afterwards by a cover of her song ’Someone Who Cares’, performed by GOOD DOG. The cover version appears on a new cassette, which collects other covers, live versions, home demos and remixes, which you can check out, here: https://www.lostmap.com/products/martha-ffion-captured-on-cassette-tape

There’s also the first play of a new song from SAVAGE MANSION, and a taster of tracks from BAS JAN and ALEXIA AVINA, plus a cut from the upcoming CALLUM EASTER album. Callum headlines the Edinburgh edition of HUMBUG! on Friday 3rd December at Summerhall, alongside Gordon McIntyre (Ballboy), Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business, and Maranta: https://www.lostmap.com/tickets/humbug

S3 12: October 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Jenny Moore + Clémentine March + more

PICTISH TRAIL has survived another birthday, and says he feels like a different man - but if anything he sounds just as groggy and jaded as on the previous episode. Luckily there’s plenty of new music coming out on the label this month to keep his spirits up, including an exclusive live session from EMMA KUPA (of Standard Fare / Mammoth Penguins fame).

JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS have a brand new EP coming out this month, on 12” vinyl, entitled He Earns Enough. Jenny has taken some time to tell us about her life in music, and an in-depth look at each of the 5 tracks on the EP. The band are currently rehearsing for an EP launch happening at the Victoria venue in Dalston, London, on Sunday 10th October.  It’s an afternoon performance, and support comes from our good pal Rachel Aggs (Trash Kit / Sacred Paws). You can check out tickets + gig info, here: https://link.dice.fm/rtPNyo19Xjb

CLÉMENTINE MARCH has recorded a brand new single, ‘Isolated’, and joins us for this month’s edition of FIRST GIG WORST GIG - telling us all about the first gig she ever attended as a punter, and her worst ever gig as a performer. She’s conveniently just announced a new tour, with fellow Lost Mapper MOLLY LINEN, which is taking place from 21st - 27th March 2022. You can see all the dates over on Clémentine’s Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/clementinemarch/

There’s also the first play of a new song from SULKA, the breezy, intimate ’Skyline’ - taken from his forthcoming Front Door EP, the follow up to his album Take Care which came out on Lost Map earlier this year.

EPISODE TRACKLISTING: 

1. Emma Kupa - ’Nothing At All’ (Live Session)

2. Clips of Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business He Earns Enough EP

S3 11: September 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Pictish Trail + Molly Linen + Taylor Stewart

Predictably hungover and sounding huskier than ever, Pictish Trail has returned to Eigg having just played his first live shows in 18 months - be gentle with him, as he guides you through this month’s music on Lost Map.

PICTISH TRAIL has survived both Green Man and Jupiter Rising festivals, and is here to tell you how good he was at them … before guiding your ears through this month’s releases on Lost Map Records - including a brand new single from himself. Unbelievable.

MOLLY LINEN has frankly had enough of Glasgow (for the time being), and has made her way down to Somerset. We got in touch to ask her about the making of her new EP, Days Awake, and she didn’t swear once. It’s like she never lived in Glasgow at all!

In this month’s FIRST GIG WORST GIG section we are joined by ‘ROMEO’ TAYLOR STEWART, drummer with a brand new signing to Lost Map called HERBERT POWELL. He tells us of his first gig as a punter, and his worst gig as a performer. Taylor is still very much in Glasgow, and so listener discretion is advised.

EPISODE TRACKLISTING:

1. Pictish Trail - ’Natural Successor'

2. Clip of Molly Linen's Days Awake EP

3. Molly Linen - ’Spring'

4. Herbert Powell - ‘Once Powerful Uncle’

5. FELL - ’I’m In Love (With My Psychiatrist)'

S3 10: August 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Firestations + more

Trying to get his head back into festival-mode, PICTISH TRAIL is here to guide your ears through this month’s releases on Lost Map Records - including the return single from post-punk surrealists BAS JAN, the debut solo material from Savage Mansion’s ANGUS JOHNSON, and some hypnotic chanting from JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS.

Laura and Bart give us another instalment of their LOST CHATS, inviting LAURA COPSEY from FIRESTATIONS’ into the hot seat this time - with some scintillating questions from Smash Hits Magazine, and a wee bit of chat about Firestations new Pixel Wilderness EP.

And in this month’s FIRST GIG WORST GIG we meet ANGUS JOHNSON (aka Craig Angus), who tells us of his first gig as a punter, and his worst gig as a performer.

It might make you never want to go to a gig ever again.

And THIS OR THAT sadly returns with a very, very special A-list celebrity. Or maybe it’s an April Fool On The Hill?

S3 05: March 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Alexia Avina + more

Allow Pictish Trail to expel his hot air (chat, not farts) on a balloon ride from his home on the Isle of Eigg, Scotland, across the Atlantic and over to the other side of America, where we meet ambient-folk artist Alexia Avina in Portland, Oregon; with just enough puff, we travel back over to meet Firestations in Walthamstow, London, before returning almost full circle to sunny Glasgow for some gossip with Savage Mansion.

Once again, Pictish Trail goes through this month’s PostMap Club releases, playing brand new music from the Lost Map label - including tracks from Sulka, Savage Mansion, and an exclusive live session with Alexia Avina.

Ambient-folk artist, Alexia Avina tells us all about her start in music, the scene in Montreal and the making of her album Unearth, as well as the story behind the new live session she’s recorded for us. The full session video will be live-streamed on Thursday 11th March 2021, with free access for PostMap Club members.

In First Gig / Worst Gig, we are joined by Mike, Laura and Martin from Firestations - who show off their cool indie-credentials with anecdotes of the first gig they attended as punters … before shovelling the bleak reality of life in a band with tales of the worst gig they’ve ever played themselves.

Due to (un)popular demand, our regular feature THIS OR THAT has been cancelled this month - and has been replaced with a pilot for a new segment called Lost Chats. This month, staff members Bart & Laura talk the nitty-gritty with Craig Angus from Savage Mansion, about his new single, upcoming album, and also the link between dogs and terrorist organisations (terrierists?). This is a clip of a full episode that will be made available to PostMap Club members later in the month.

EPISODE TRACKLISTING:

1. Sulka - Clip of ’Hollow Days’ / ‘Hollow Days (acoustic version)'

2. Savage Mansion - Clip of ‘Wig Wise’

3. Alexia Avina - Clips of Unearth + live session

S3 04: February 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Sulka + more

Featuring new music, erotic stories and some chat about Gary Jules flat-cap, his month’s episode of the podcast is as mysterious, harrowing and unexpected as an anonymous Valentines card written in a sticky brown liquid that you honest-to-god hope is dried blood.

Your host Pictish Trail rummages though the PostMap Club mail-bag, and plays some brand new music from the Lost Map label - including tracks from Firestations, Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business, and a remix by Callum Easter. There’s also an exclusive first play (in full) of an unreleased Pictish track, entitled ‘Dream Wall’.

This month’s episode also features a one-on-one interview with multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Lukas Clasen, aka SULKA - whose brand new album, Take Care, just came out on CD and cassette.

Rose Canaveral gets us in the Valentines mood with an erotic ghost story, that will definitely give you the willies.

In First Gig / Worst Gig, Suse Bear (aka Good Dog) unveils her pop-past, and shares two memories of terrible gigs that’ll make you thankful we’re still in lockdown.

And in this month’s edition of THIS OR THAT we are joined by a live studio audience for a special Mr & Ms. gameshow format, in which we have two members of Lost Map staff as contestants. Our social media manager Bart is pitted against our admin guru Laura. There’s a cash prize, but rest assured the chances of this lot winning anything are slim…

EPISODE TRACKLISTING:

1. Firestations - ’The Circular’

2. Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business - ‘Woman Is A Word’

3. Pictish Trail - ’Slow Memories’ (Callum Easter remix)

S3 03: January 2021 - PostMap Podcast

It’s finally 2021, and we’ve all survived. Our collective reward is a 45 minute podcast about brand new music on Lost Map Records. Hooray.

It’s the New Year, and Pictish Trail has celebrated by hiding from his children, locking himself inside his garden shed, and recording this very podcast with only a bottle of Babycham for company.

This month’s episode includes an in-depth interview with singer-songwriter Clémentine March, who tells us about her life in music, and the making of her new album Songs Of Resilience - which she recorded in just two days at the end of November.

In First Gig / Worst Gig, Alabaster dePlume takes us back to a time when he had extremely long hair, and chewing gum on his back … and that’s not even the Worst Gig.

And in this month’s edition of THIS OR THAT we punish an undeserving Ed Dowie with a non-stop assault of brain-taxing questions.

There’s also an exclusive first play of a new track from Sulka, whose new album Take Care is out later this month.


EPISODE TRACKLISTING:

1. Clémentine March - Clips of Songs Of Resilience, + ‘Into The Distance’

2. Alabaster dePlume - ’Song of the Foundling (live, 2012)’

3. Ed Dowie - ‘Under The Waves'

4. Sulka - 'You & I'
