Save perhaps for the bit at the end when we all woke up in the flaming hot fires of Torygeddon, 2019 hasn't been all bad, has it? HAS IT? Okay fine it has mostly been quite bad. But look, it's the season of good will, so let go of all that anger and hate for a minute and find love for your fellow man, whomever he may be. Unless he's a Tory, in which case tell him to fuck all the way off. We've had probably our busiest year to date here at Lost Map, and we are as ever so genuinely very, very grateful for your support and custom! You really are the best, guys . Unless you're a Tory, in which case why are you even still reading and please unsubscribe now 🖕.
Indulge us if you will, in this final Waypoints of 2019, as we recap on the year. Whilst at the same time, in what has become a heartwarming seasonal tradition, doing our best to SELL YOU A LOAD OF LAST-MINUTE SHIT BEFORE FINAL PRE-XMAS POSTING DATE (if that doesn't sound too Tory 🤮). Being as we've left it quite late this year, and final posting is actually TODAY *WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18*, we'd best get on with it, eh?
ALBUMS AND EPs
THE POSTMAP CLUB
 New for 2019, our subscription service the PostMap Club delivered a monthly stream of hot sounds straight into your letterbox – thanks so much to everyone who subscribed! Among the best cuts were Martha Ffion's extra fine 'Kennedy Hair', Victoria Hume's gorgeous 'Suspension' and 'Kingdom of Scotland' by Romeo Taylor, a thoroughly stupid ultra banger for our times, and now the unofficial national anthem of a soon-to-be Tory-free independent Scotland. You can sign up to the PostMap Club here (unless you're a Tory, in which case you can sign up here). Wouldn't a Gold Blend membership make for a lovely present for a spouse, a family member or even a pet? We're not fussy, just shop. The December edition includes a special CHRISTMAS surprise, which will be announced/released on CHRISTMAS DAY. It'll give you big FEELINGS. Unless you're a Tory, in which case you are obvs incapable of feelings.
HOWLIN' FLING, STRANGE INVITATION AND OTHER LIVE EVENTS
 Whether you lost your mind with us in a ceilidh hall on the isle of Eigg or a church in Portobello or a basement in London, thanks for helping make our various Lost Map live events this year such a blast, and please scratch from the record anything offensive we may have said whilst under the influence (unless it was about Tories, because we definitely meant whatever it was we said about them). We've got two final blowouts still to come this year – a (sold-out) Kid Canaveral's Xmas Baubles X on Saturday in Portobello, and before that, the return of Starz in the Their Eyes at Summerhall in Edinburgh this Friday – click here for tickets (unless you're a Tory, in which case you can get tickets here).
LOST MAP IN 2020...
 We'll be taking a break for a couple of weeks now to drink solemnly and steadily, eat all of the Quality Street except the blue ones and try and stop thinking about how much we hate Tories (impossible). But stay tuned because we've got a load of huuugely exciting things happening early next year. Including new albums from Pictish Trail, Clémentine March, Alabaster dePlume and Savage Mansion, the next set of releases in our VISITATIONS residency series, at least 24 more PostMap Club postcards, and a whole variety of live shows – dates for some of which you can see below. Have a nice holiday guys looooovee youuuuu |

2019 was a pretty quiet one for albums truth be told – just the four. AND WHAT ALBUMS!
