[MAKENESS PHOTOGRAPHED ON EIGG BY SOLEN COLLET]
V I S I T ▲ T I O N S 03 02:
MAKENESS
BRAND NEW MUSIC WRITTEN AND RECORDED
IN RESIDENCY ON THE ISLE OF EIGG, AVAILABLE AS PART OF LOST MAP'S POSTMAP CLUB SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE

Come with us on a journey to the isle of Eigg – a place of peace, tranquility, creativity, and strictly no f*****g s**t about the f*****g Q***n. You are now entering a Monarchy Free Zone and if you don't like it then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. For the next several minutes of your life, we strictly promise no mention whatsoever of not only the Q***n, but also the K**g, all of the P*****s – especially the one who is a massive p********e – and even their silly wee dogs. We'll even shut up about our beloved Burger K**g ™, lest you find it triggering.
For there is only one ruler in the palace of our hearts, and it is his Right Royal Makeness . The second artist to be featured as part of series three of our V I S I T ▲ T I O N S programme of special limited-edition releases, written and recorded in rural seclusion in St Franny's Bothan on Eigg, Makeness = critically-acclaimed electronic sonic explorer Kyle Molleson. Currently based in London, but raised in the Outer Hebrides and south-west England, and previously based in Leeds and Edinburgh, Kyle’s 2018 debut album for Secretly Canadian Records Loud Patterns is one of our Favourite Albums of Recent Times ™.
Kyle travelled up to Eigg with his good friend, next-door-neighbour and bandmate Gus Beamish-Cook – a Suffolk-born synth-addict, who previously made mind-warping dance-pop rhythms as Bewilderbeast, and who also collaborates on another project with Kyle as Small Car NRG. The pair transformed St Franny’s into a Tardis-like interstellar vehicle, the twinkling lights of various analogue and digital contraptions scattered across every available surface, reflecting the blanket of stars that spilled in through the windows of the long February evenings. The bothy hasn't banged this hard since Jon Hopkins last stayed there.
As well as being released digitally via postcard as part of our PostMap Club subscription service, Makeness’s V I S I T ▲ T I O N S session is also available on limited edition cassette tape, which you can pre-order now for dispatch October 7. The opening track ‘I Can See For Miles’ can be streamed now exclusively via Bandcamp. |

SEPTEMBER POSTMAP CLUB FEAT. ALEXIA AVINA
|
|
So look, um... we've been meaning to try and tell you this for a while now and... well, look, we know we're like friends and stuff, and we don't want to ruin that, and you don't have to reciprocate or anything but... it's time we just came right out and said it because it's the truth and we just can't keep it a secret anymore. So here we go. Hope this doesn't make things awkward between us or anything but... okay, deep breath, here we go:
Alexia Avina's new EP Crush is out October 14 on limited-edition CD and digital platforms!!! Pre-order now!!!
Awww, you thought we fancied you?! Ha, don't be silly, you're hideous. But who needs pumped anyway when you can instead have a subscription to Lost Map's PostMap Club. Which in the month of September comes with Alexia Avina's amaaaazing new song 'You' – the v. danceable opening track from Crush, an impressive departure from Alexia's previous lush guitar vibes, now with added synths and drum machines. “‘You’ is about how crush energy is so ephemeral," explains Alexia, "it only exists as much as you feed it, and only persists as much as you feed into it. The amount of mental energy associated with keeping it alive and trying to parse out and define fiction from reality definitely takes a toll on the spaciousness of my mind."
2 pump or not 2 pump, that is the question!
Also included in this month's PostMap Club:
Makeness: V I S I T ▲ T I O N S 03 02 – An EP of otherworldy bothy bangers made at St Franny's Bothan on Eigg by Kyle Molleson and Gus Beamish-Cook in February 2022. See above for more infos.
Maranta: 'Pleasure' – A scintillating slice of tropical pop about pleasure, passion and depression, backed with an exclusive remix by Fuun Haus, AKA Lewis Cook of Free Love. See below for more infos.

CHOOSE PLEASURE WITH MARANTA
|
|
When it comes to the truest meaning of the word "pleasure", let us just say that we speak from a position of profound and very specific personal experience – e.g. back seat of an Austin Metro in the car park behind "the big Tesco" Dunfermline, May 11, 1999 between approx 10.47–10.49pm. As such, the new single by Edinburgh electronic duo Maranta, a scintillating slice of tropical pop about pleasure, passion and depression titled quite simply 'Pleasure', really tickles our bits, gets our juices flowing and has us nodding along excitedly shouting things like "YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!" and "PREACH!" You can take this song home for your own pleasure now, simply by signing up to the PostMap Club (see above). A video for ‘Pleasure’, directed and edited by Chell Young and featuring costumes by Vomiton, is available to watch and share now.
And there's more. Maranta, AKA vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and producers Callum Govan and Gloria Black, have a new EP coming soon titled Deux Pleasure, which is French for "double sexy", or something. A collection of songs about "embracing hardship", "celebrating life" and trying to "explore what pleasure means to us in this context, and when it is valid,” say Maranta, it's released September 30 on on 12” vinyl and digital platforms (pre-order now). Callum and Glo will launch the Deux Pleasure EP with a show at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh on Wednesday, October 5 (tickets on sale now). Be sure to join us there whether you are "double sexy", "single sexy" or quite simply traditional "sexy".
