Our last pod o’ the year finds LAURA and PICTISH TRAIL in relatively festive fettle, with a product endorsement for Lidl’s own-brand stollen, and even some discussion about actual music.

It’s the “season finale” of series 5! Join PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of LOST MAP goodness, including a sneaky peek at all the new music we’re releasing through our POSTMAP CLUB. We’ve got the first single from a fresh signing called AFTERLANDS; a live session track from MARTHA FFION; and a taste of the forthcoming album from SAVAGE MANSION. We’ve also got information on our December events in London and Edinburgh, as well as an archive track from the mad-cap musical inventor, ICHI.

Our featured interview this month is with Roxy Brennan, aka TWO WHITE CRANES, who talks us through her life in music, the various scenes she’s been a part of in Bristol, Oxford and Brighton, as well as a deep dive on her brand new album - Self Build - which is out NOW on limited edition CD.

S5 11: November 2023

Join hosts PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of Lost Map goodness, including (not due to popular demand, or indeed any sort of demand) a reboot of long-lost regular feature, First Gig Worst Gig.

It’s November, the nights are fair drawing in, and LAURA reckons it's the start of winter already. PICTISH TRAIL is still in a summery mood, and tries to pay Laura a compliment on her hair - but ends up talking about his own greasy locks for possibly too many minutes. Thankfully there’s some new music to keep you entertained - the obligatory track from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, an archive track from EAGLEOWL, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from TWO WHITE CRANES, VICTORIA HUME and SUSAN BEAR.

There’s no featured interview this month, but we have resurrected an ol’ fave - FIRST GIG WORST GIG, in which artists tell us about the first gig they attended as a punter, and the very worst gig they’ve ever played themselves. It’s a bumper edition of the segment, with confessions from both SEAMUS FOGARTY and ALEXIA AVINA, who conveniently have new releases out this month on vinyl. PLUG PLUG PLUG.

Incredibly, this is the 50th episode of the Lost Map Podcast. We’ve only just realised this, while writing these show-notes… so there’s no actual mention of it in the episode. Thought you might wanna know anyway. Are you even reading this bit?

S5 09: September 2023 - Ten Years Of Lost Map, Part 2

In possibly their most “method” episode yet, established actors PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA accurately portray the overwhelming sense of hangover from last month’s 10th ANNIVERSARY shows. They should win a Podcast Oscar, if such a thing exists.

Somehow PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA have survived Lost Map’s busiest month, celebrating the label’s official 10th anniversary. But if you thought all the milk had run dry from our birthday celebrations … well, you were probably right … but we’re still squeezing the udders for one final dusty spray of cherished memories.

There’s chat about all the fun times had at HOWLIN’ FLING!, and our experiences at GREEN MAN festival, as well as a trip down memory lane, playing our fave tracks of the past ten years by MANUELA and TUFF LOVE.

We’ve also got brand NEW tunes from our PostMap Club - including the second single from LOST MAP presents WEIRD WAVE, the return of SEAMUS FOGARTY, plus a fresh cut from SULKA’s forthcoming album Distractions.

S5 04: April 2023 - Hairband + more

Join PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA over the next hour, for all the latest music and gossip from Lost Map, as well as an in-depth chat with HAIRBAND about the making of their debut album.

It’s April Fools Day, and PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA are really struggling to make important Lost Map announcements convincingly. Will there actually be a Howlin’ Fling this year? Thankfully there’s new music from MARTHA FFION, FIRESTATIONS, plus tracks from L.T. LEIF and AMY MAY ELLIS, to break up the tedium.

This month’s interview is with Emma, Simone and Rowan of HAIRBAND, who chat to us from Rowan’s living room in Glasgow - with fellow bandmate Rachel sending messages from Berlin. They talk us through the making of their fantastic new album, Under The Plow - which is out on 21st April on very limited edition cassette.

S5 02: February 2023 - L.T. Leif + Hairband + more

It’s the first day of a new month, which means PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA are in their jammies, and ready to pod. On today’s episode, there are fresh tunes from CLÉMENTINE MARCH, SDF, and FREE LOVE to enjoy, as well as information about a brand new signing to the label roster, HAIRBAND … but first they had to make sure they expressed their opinions on the disgusting instagram advert and accompanying tour ticket prices by MADONNA. What an absolute disgrace.

This month’s interview is with Canadian songsmith L.T. LEIF, who talks us through their life in music, their move to Glasgow and the making of their new album, Come Back To Me, But Lightly - which was released late-January 2023 on limited edition vinyl via Lost Map, in association with our good friends OK Pal Records.

S5 01: January 2023 - Your New Year Mega-Mix Work Out Tape

If you spent all of 2022 in a coma, don’t worry - PICTISH TRAIL can bring you up to speed on everything you’ve missed. Except Eastenders, he didn’t watch any of that. Actually, he did watch the Xmas Special, but he wasn’t 100% sure of what was going on.

Singer-songwriter PICTISH TRAIL runs the independent record label and collective LOST MAP from his home, on the Isle of Eigg, Scotland. Join him for the next 72 minutes, as he runs through a choice selection of tracks from the label catalogue over the past 12 months, as well as some spins of brand new “as yet unreleased" material. The perfect soundtrack for your New Year / New You fitness regime work-out … in so far as it starts out quite energetic, and then gets a bit wheezy, slightly trippy, and then blissed out. By which point you’ll thoroughly deserve a cup of tea and the remaining segments of that Terry’s Chocolate Orange you got for Xmas.

Oh there’s some gossip about Howlin’ Fling!, too. You’ll have to listen to find out, mind.
