herbert powell
It’s Lost Map Records’ honour to announce the debut album by one of Glasgow’s greatest ever cult bands, angular art-rock surrealists the mighty Herbert Powell. The forever delayed Here In My Scheme, Here It Ends will be released November 5, 2021 on limited-edition CD-R and digital platforms. A new single, 'Velcro Dinner' – the second half of a double A-side together with ‘Once Powerful Uncle’ is out now.
Formed nearly a decade ago by Kieran Thomas (vocals, bass), ‘Romeo’ Taylor Stewart (drums), Kay Logan (guitar) and Billy Gaughan (guitar), Herbert Powell played many a memorable, messy show on the Glasgow underground circuit, attracting a wildly enthusiastic following among likeminded weirdos. Yet, no proper recordings of their music were released, before the band disappeared in mysterious circumstances. Kay has gone on to make acclaimed music as Time Binding Ensemble, Outlet Archive, Helena Celle and as a member of the Iggy Pop-approved band Anxiety, as well as produce the SAY Award nominated debut album by Comfort. Kieran plays in the band Snout. Billy plays in Rapid Tan alongside Taylor, who has also played with Savage Mansion and launched a solo career as Romeo Taylor, whose hits include viral rave anthem ‘The Kingdom of Scotland’.
Now, all of sudden, Herbert Powell are back.
