Daft-pop impresario Pictish Trail (aka Johnny Lynch) runs Lost Map Records from the remote Scottish isle of Eigg. In 2018, he conducted an artist residency programme on the island, inviting three different music acts over to write and record new material during the course of a week’s stay. The music they made was pressed on to vinyl, and available as part of a subscription set from the Lost Map website. The project was called VISITATIONS, and it returns in 2020 for a second season.

There are three new acts taking part this year - the otherworldly L.A. collective ARTHUR KING (featuring alt-rock hero, Jason Lytle, of Grandaddy), the ecstatic post-punk of Glasgow’s RACHEL AGGS (of Sacred Paws, Shopping and Trash Kit), and the hypnotic sway of Winchester’s finest ROZI PLAIN. For this second podcast series, Pictish Trail will be interviewing the various musicians involved, asking them about their lives in music, and their experience on the island.

If you’d like to support this podcast, and listen to the music that has been created for this project, you can do so by signing up to VISITATIONS. Go to www.lostmap.com/visitations for details on our vinyl and digital subscriptions.
