PRE-ORDER PICTISH TRAIL'S NEW ALBUM THUMB WORLD NOW
RELEASED FEBRUARY 21, 2020:
fire-records.lnk.to/PT_ThumbWorld
We're not about to claim that Pictish Trail necessarily planned to put out his infectious electro-dazzler of a new track 'Turning Back' just in time to helpfully remind you that it's the end of daylight savings this weekend, but neither does it seem entirely like a coincidence. Indeed, glancing across the rest of the tracklisting for his really very excellent forthcoming new album Thumb World, and songs such as 'Gran's Birthday Party', 'Dentist Appt.' and 'Bins Go Out Tuesday', a pattern does appear to emerge. Not content with merely giving us music that is catchy, clever, fun and highly sexual, Pictish Trail also imbues all of his writing with a inherent practicality. You're welcome!
The darkness, cold and abject misery of the end of daylight saving time of course sucks fat hairy balls. But on the upside, it has inspired a pantheon of great music over the years. Be it leather'n'suspenders-clad defiant pensioner Cher's ' If I Could Turn Back Time' (little-known fact: surprisingly short IRL, Cher struggles to reach the clocks in her house and is thus an hour late for all appointments half of every year). Or better yet, objectionable Scandinavians Aqua's ' Turn Back Time', or as it's better known in Danish, ''Tøürm BÆck TÏimmmëëē'. We're not about to claim that Pictish Trail's contribution to the clocks-go-back canon is necessarily superior to either/both of these patently classic temporal pop bangers, but he does look really good in leather'n'suspenders, straddling a giant gun barrel. DM for pics.

TICKETS FOR KID CANAVERAL'S CHRISTMAS BAUBLES X
ARE ON SALE NOW
Our annual festive ultra-bender Kid Canaveral's Christmas Baubles returns for its 10th installment, or to put that another, cleverer way: 'tenth' or 'Xth' installment. Can you believe it? 10 years! (Well, technically nine but anyway). The first one at The Lot in Edinburgh in 2010 was so, so long ago now, it's hard to imagine how fresh-faced, cheerful and optimistic we all were about life back then. The Canaverals still believed in Santa FFS How cynical, corrupt and dismal we have all become (*lights broken cigarette, unscrews cap on half-bottle of Tesco own brand 'Special Reserve' Scotch Whisky, sighs deeply*).
Come party with us at the Bellfield in Edinburgh as we see out the old and ring in the new or whatever, with live music, DJs, hot foods and delicious wet booze. The line-up remains TBD and thus TBA BTW, but FYI it's gonna be VG, and if you don't believe us FU, TBQH. Expect familiar handsome faces from the Lost Map roster, friends and special guests and perhaps even a few surprises (i.e. complaining neighbours). Anyone who can provide physical proof that they have been at every single one of the nine previous Baubles to date will win a 'Special Reserve' prize*.
*Free access to every single Baubles forevermore until they/we/everyone dies

FELL: 'DREAM SONG'
|
|
OCTOBER POST MAP CLUB: FELL AND PICTISH TRAIL
Rotund shirtless men slathered in lubricant, gimp-like freaks dressed in gold lamé, weird trippy voodoo rituals going on all over the place, a man feeding piles of cream to a decapitated fox... but enough about Gran's birthday's party, let's instead talk about the fine new video for the track 'Dream Song' by Fell, which you can watch above. The track is released this month as part of our PostMap Club postcard singles subscription service, backed by an exclusive live version of 'Dream Song' recorded at our Strange Invitation all-day event in Portobello a couple of weeks ago. You can also find 'Dream Song' on Fell's new EP For The Pickling, which is out now as a Lost Cat cassette and via all digital services. Dreamy!
And there's more! This month’s Post Map mail out will also consist of a Pictish Trail sticker sheet, with a download code for his new song ‘Slow Memories’, plus a remix by Bit Cloudy (AKA Martin from Firestations), and a live version also recorded at Strange Invitation. The stickers you can stick literally anywhere, be it on your school jotter or pencil case, your shirt lapel, or all over your genitals, like some sort of gross Pictish themed STD. We don't judge!
