MEET MOLLY LINEN
WATCH AND SHARE THE VIDEO FOR HER DEBUT SINGLE 'AWAY':
bit.do/molly-linen-away
We did another signing! Fresh off the boat and wearing a really very fetching coat, say hello to Shropshire’s finest Molly Linen! Her heavenly debut single 'Away' is available to listen to on digital services now, and will be sent out physically as part of the May installment of our PostMap Club subscription in a couple of weeks, backed by the exclusive track ‘Over That Hill’. A video for ‘Away’ by Beth Chalmers is available to watch and share now, after premiering on For The Rabbits, who called her "the most exciting new musical voice we’ve heard in a very long time”, eeeek! Molly Linen will perform live at Lost Map’s Howlin’ Fling festival on Eigg over the weekend of May 31-June 1, and before that at a Howlin’ Fling Warm-Up Show in Glasgow at the Hug’n’Pint on Sunday, May 26, together with fellow Lost Mappers Savage Mansion and Romeo Taylor.
"But who in the hellllll is Molly Linen?" we hear you ask, a bit rudely. She's a songwriter and guitarist from the West Midlands, now based in Glasgow. She creates atmospheric, captivating and personal songs, led by melodic guitar lines and lulling yet hypnotic vocals, drawing influences from artists such as Devon Sproule and Nick Drake. Members of her band include the aforementioned Beth Chalmers – who takes many fine artist photos for us – as well as Caio Wheelhouse, Colin Campbell and Liam Chapman (who also drums with C Duncan). Molly Linen’s debut EP will be released later this year – keep yer eyes peeled.
MOLLY LINEN LIVE:
SUN, MAY 26 @ HOWLIN’ FLING WARM-UP SHOW, THE HUG’N’PINT, GLASGOW
[W/ SAVAGE MANSION, ROMEO TAYLOR & MORE] (TICKETS)
MAY 31-JUN 1 @ LOST MAP’S HOWLIN’ FLING FESTIVAL, ISLE OF EIGG (SOLD OUT)

CALLUM EASTER'S DEBUT ALBUM
– AVAILABLE HERE NOW, SOON NOWHERE
HONESTLY, IT'S SELLING QUICK:
lostmap.com/products/callum-easter-here-or-nowhere
Regrets, we've all had a few – be it after eating too much Dr. Oetker frozen oven pizza, or after eating not enough Dr. Oetker frozen oven pizza and having to "top up" a half-hour later with an entire family pack of Magnums, or after eating just exactly the right amount of Dr. Oetker frozen oven pizza then asking yourself troubling questions about why you couldn't have shown similar good judgment every other Friday night since about 1998.
Avoid adding to your regret mountain by swiftly following our advice – and purchasing a vinyl copy of Callum Easter's exceptional debut album Here Or Nowhere, now. Look, we're not even making this up (and admittedly we do make up a lot of things in these mailouts) – copies are flying! They'll be gone altogether soon. And once they're gone, they're gone. Like Harold Bishop in Neighbours, or the great auk, or all of that large stack of Dr. Oetker oven pizzas you had been hoarding in your freezer (Oetker's a doctor, think of it like a prescription!)
CALLUM EASTER LIVE:
FRI, MAY 31 @ LOST MAP'S HOWLIN' FLING, ISLE OF EIGG [SOLD OUT]
SAT, JUN 22 @ SOUTHERN EXPOSURE FESTIVAL,
SAT, JUN 29 @ THE LEXINGTON, LONDON

JOIN THE POSTMAP CLUB
There now follows a short public service announcement about Lost Map's PostMap Club subscription service, which if you follow our mailouts regularly, you will notice that we hardly ever mention. What the PostMap Club by Lost Map is, basically, is a club, whereby we (that's Lost Map), send you (that's you) cool stuff in the post, in exchange for money. "How much money?" we hear you ask, which is pretty reasonable question to ask at this juncture and so what follows below is a long-winded answer, including specifics about the two different types of bang you can get for your buck if you join, e.g. quite bang or very bang. A reminder btw that the two PostMap postcards you will receive in the month of May if you join now are by Molly Linen and Callum Easter. Okay here we go then:
REGULAR BREW
(£3 + postage, per month)
WHAT YOU GET:
Postcards (obvs)! At least two collectible PostMap postcards sent to your door at the end of every month – each containing download codes for a mixture of brand new music on Lost Map, alongside a random selection from our archives
- Badge! Plus a new badge for every year of your subscription
- Monthly newsletter! Containing hot goss / farmyard shite
- Discounts! On other Lost Map releases, merchandise and gigs
- Feelgood glow! Help support a plucky young independent record label go about its merry business
GOLD BLEND
(£5 + postage, per month)
WHAT YOU GET:
- All of the above except a bigger badge
- Once in possession of your address, we are approximately 75% less likely to come around to your house, leave a flaming paper bag full of jobbies on your doorstep, ring doorbell, run away (we will almost certainly do this to all Regular Brew members)
- No we're not gross, you're gross

GET THE HOWLIN' FLING LOOK
+ COME TO A HOWLIN' FLING WARM-UP SHOW
Lost Map's Howlin' Fling festival of course doesn't have a look, but if it did then it would probably be wild-eyed, disheveled, some clothes slightly ripped from when you fell drunkenly in a bush, other clothes not even yours – whose are they? Whose are these trousers? Does it even matter? Why do they smell faintly of pish? So many questions.
Alternatively, the Howlin' Fling look could be considered one of our brand new, limited-edition Howlin' Fling 2019 T-shirts, which as the festival on the isle of Egg hurtles towards us like a beer can-shaped meteor rocketing through space towards its inevitable date with destiny and YOUR FACE, have been made available to purchase now for just £20 in a range of lovely bright colours including arse-bruise blue, hurl green and pished-yourself-again yellow. But you see, here's the clever thing – you don't even need to be coming to Howlin' Fling (which is very sold-out, we might add) to buy one! Alternatively what you could do is purchase a T-shirt online and sit comfortably in the sofa wearing it, watching YouTube videos of artists performing at Howlin' Fling – or anyone really, Crazytown, Sting, Oxide & Neutrino, T'Pau, curate your own dream line-up! – while a benevolent friend throws beer and mud at you. Even better than the real thing!
Alternatively alternatively, what you could do is come to the Underachiever's Club official Howlin' Fling warm up gig at the Hug'n'Pint in Glasgow on Sunday, May 26, featuring performances from Lost Map fam Savage Mansion, Molly Linen and Romeo Taylor plus guests Holy Snakes and Bell Lungs. It'll be like the real thing except you can go home and sleep in your bed afterwards instead of, say, a bush.

FACEBOOK IS EVIL, BUT... JOIN THE LOST MAP LOOP
It's often said that Facebook is a cesspit of unchecked vitriol, oversharing, lies, spying and cat pictures. Which tbqh is exactly why we set up the Lost Map Loop, a Facebook group where you can now direct all of the above and more, long as it's loosely on a Lost Map theme. Join up here
