PICTISH TRAIL has survived another birthday, and says he feels like a different man - but if anything he sounds just as groggy and jaded as on the previous episode. Luckily there’s plenty of new music coming out on the label this month to keep his spirits up, including an exclusive live session from EMMA KUPA (of Standard Fare / Mammoth Penguins fame).

JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS have a brand new EP coming out this month, on 12” vinyl, entitled He Earns Enough. Jenny has taken some time to tell us about her life in music, and an in-depth look at each of the 5 tracks on the EP. The band are currently rehearsing for an EP launch happening at the Victoria venue in Dalston, London, on Sunday 10th October. It’s an afternoon performance, and support comes from our good pal Rachel Aggs (Trash Kit / Sacred Paws). You can check out tickets + gig info, here: https://link.dice.fm/rtPNyo19Xjb

CLÉMENTINE MARCH has recorded a brand new single, ‘Isolated’, and joins us for this month’s edition of FIRST GIG WORST GIG - telling us all about the first gig she ever attended as a punter, and her worst ever gig as a performer. She’s conveniently just announced a new tour, with fellow Lost Mapper MOLLY LINEN, which is taking place from 21st - 27th March 2022. You can see all the dates over on Clémentine’s Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/clementinemarch/

There’s also the first play of a new song from SULKA, the breezy, intimate ’Skyline’ - taken from his forthcoming Front Door EP, the follow up to his album Take Care which came out on Lost Map earlier this year.

It’s finally 2021, and we’ve all survived. Our collective reward is a 45 minute podcast about brand new music on Lost Map Records. Hooray.

It’s the New Year, and Pictish Trail has celebrated by hiding from his children, locking himself inside his garden shed, and recording this very podcast with only a bottle of Babycham for company.

This month’s episode includes an in-depth interview with singer-songwriter Clémentine March, who tells us about her life in music, and the making of her new album Songs Of Resilience - which she recorded in just two days at the end of November.

In First Gig / Worst Gig, Alabaster dePlume takes us back to a time when he had extremely long hair, and chewing gum on his back … and that’s not even the Worst Gig.

And in this month’s edition of THIS OR THAT we punish an undeserving Ed Dowie with a non-stop assault of brain-taxing questions.

There’s also an exclusive first play of a new track from Sulka, whose new album Take Care is out later this month.

EPISODE TRACKLISTING:

1. Clémentine March - Clips of Songs Of Resilience, + ‘Into The Distance’

2. Alabaster dePlume - ’Song of the Foundling (live, 2012)’

3. Ed Dowie - ‘Under The Waves'

4. Sulka - 'You & I'
