Join your hosts PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of Lost Map music and gossip.

LAURA has returned, joining PICTISH TRAIL for our second podcast of the year. We’ve got new music for your ears from SDF, the recent SUSAN BEAR remix of KINBOTE, and a track from the archives from HAPPY SPENDY.

We’ve also got a brand new track from AFTERLANDS, with RICK REDBEARD from the band joining us to talk through his FIRST GIG WORST GIG. Our featured interview this month is with Craig and Andy of SAVAGE MANSION, who reveal the process behind the making of their brand new album THE SHAKES, which is out on February 16th.

This episode of the Lost Map Podcast was presented by Pictish Trail and Laura Doherty, edited and with additional production from Joe Cormack.

Allow Pictish Trail to expel his hot air (chat, not farts) on a balloon ride from his home on the Isle of Eigg, Scotland, across the Atlantic and over to the other side of America, where we meet ambient-folk artist Alexia Avina in Portland, Oregon; with just enough puff, we travel back over to meet Firestations in Walthamstow, London, before returning almost full circle to sunny Glasgow for some gossip with Savage Mansion.

Once again, Pictish Trail goes through this month’s PostMap Club releases, playing brand new music from the Lost Map label - including tracks from Sulka, Savage Mansion, and an exclusive live session with Alexia Avina.

Ambient-folk artist, Alexia Avina tells us all about her start in music, the scene in Montreal and the making of her album Unearth, as well as the story behind the new live session she’s recorded for us. The full session video will be live-streamed on Thursday 11th March 2021, with free access for PostMap Club members.

In First Gig / Worst Gig, we are joined by Mike, Laura and Martin from Firestations - who show off their cool indie-credentials with anecdotes of the first gig they attended as punters … before shovelling the bleak reality of life in a band with tales of the worst gig they’ve ever played themselves.

Due to (un)popular demand, our regular feature THIS OR THAT has been cancelled this month - and has been replaced with a pilot for a new segment called Lost Chats. This month, staff members Bart & Laura talk the nitty-gritty with Craig Angus from Savage Mansion, about his new single, upcoming album, and also the link between dogs and terrorist organisations (terrierists?). This is a clip of a full episode that will be made available to PostMap Club members later in the month.
