Hullo, Pictish Trail here! I seem to have gotten out of the habit of updating the Lost Map website regularly, and my memory of life events dissipates with each passing year, so i might try and put together a semi-regular blog. Specifically about label stuff, although maybe with the occasional belch of gossip. 

If i manage to keep it up, it might make the website as a whole a bit less impersonal. Plus, now that we’ve made it through to our half-decade of existence, it’s as good a time as any to be a smidge reflective … and what better way to start than with a detailed rumination on our recent Strange Invitation all-dayer, an event that was to commemorate our fifth year, which took place barely a fortnight ago. I’m pretty sure I can remember that far back. With the help of some photos from Stephanie Gibson, of course …

As Lost Map Records this summer celebrates five years since it was established, so too begins an exciting new chapter with the launch of V I S I T ▲ T I O N S – a series of very special limited-edition releases, written and recorded in residency in a cabin on the label’s home the isle of Eigg, Scotland. Set up with support from Creative Scotland, the residency programme presents a unique opportunity for exciting label roster acts and guest artists to break away from the connectivity saturated modern world, go off-grid, embrace the inspiring scenery and self-sustaining community spirit of a truly special Hebridean island, and focus solely on one project for a concentrated period.

Although often aided and abetted live and on record by a seven-piece band, Randolph’s Leap is primarily the work of Nairn born-and-raised singer, songwriter and home-recording boffin extraordinaire Adam Ross.  Written and performed almost entirely by Adam solo, Worryingly Okay was released on May 25th 2018, and represents Randolph’s Leap’s third full-length album proper to date.

Listen to Victoria Hume's Delirium Part II

photo by Beth Chalmers, Howlin' Fling 2016

Johannesburg-based English singer-songwriter Victoria Hume released her stunning EP,  Closing on Lost Map Records, back in 2016 - seven sparse, wintry songs of fluttering piano and strings, bright guitars and beautifully naturalistic vocals. Closing arrived at Lost Map's door after it was passed to Pictish Trail by his musical accomplice, and partner-in-spandex Adem of Silver Columns. Adem had previously worked with Victoria on her 2013 project Delirium, a cycle of songs themed around the complex hallucinations patients have been known to experience during hospital-based intensive care (outside of music, Victoria works as an arts manager in health and medicine and as a researcher).

The first Delirium project had been based on conversations with patients in the UK, and now Victoria has created a follow up album, Delirium Part II, with patients in South Africa. Here she is with more information about the project ...

Look at us, in that photo.  JUST LOOK AT US.  So fresh faced.  That was our "primary 1 school photo", taken at Green Man Festival in 2013, where Lost Map was officially born on the 16th August.  What a weekend that was! It’s 2018, now… and our 5th birthday is this summer - what better way to spend it, than by returning to the Brecon Beacons?

YES.  Green Man have invited Lost Map to celebrate our 5th birthday!   Pictish Trail, BAS JAN, Ed Dowie will all be representing Lost Map at this year’s bash, with separate sets, alongside some Lost Map DJs … and, sweet jebus, LM graduate Seamus Fogarty is gonna be performing over the weekend too.  It’s going to be emotional, folks.

TRACK BY TRACK: Monoganon's guide to KILLMENS

January 14, 2018 Pictish Trail

photo by Sandra Henningsson

Hey internet fans.  I’m sure you’ll agree, there’s nothing better than a ‘semi-regular feature’.   You know what i’m talking about, right?   A series of online posts, strapped with a BIG TITLE and good intentions, that crops up from time to time without warning or reason, often appearing in a big CLUMP, before the author forgets it exists, or gets bored, and the feature disappears into the nether regions of the world’s wide web.

Well … we, at Lost Map, pride ourselves on being the masters of the ‘semi-regular feature’.  So, without further ado, here’s a new semi-regular feature on the Lost Map website entitled TRACK-BY-TRACK, in which we ask the artists to give a brief description of an album they have released with us.  The first in this irregular series is by ... MONOGANON.

"GET LOST!" - having an Argument with BAS JAN!

November 20, 2017 Pictish Trail
photo.kuba_ryniewicz    326.jpg

Lost Map are excited to welcome latest signings BAS JAN, the London experimental post-punk trio built around the remarkable and distinctive voice and songs of multi-instrumentalist and composer Serafina Steer. A brilliant, bonkers, shape-shifting song about the weird tedium of a text message spat (“Drop it? Why don’t you drop it!”), 'Argument' – available to stream and share now – is the first single to be revealed from BAS JAN's forthcoming debut album Yes I Jan, due early 2018.

Pictish Trail signs to Fire Records, and is on tour blimmin' LOADS

Lost Map are pleased to announce that our spiritual captain, Pictish Trail, has signed to Fire Records.  As you can see from the photo above, he's so overwhelmed with excitement that he is expelling a viscous pink liquid.  This doesn't mean he's abandoning Lost Map, but rather tying our DIY dinghy to a much sturdier vessel.

To celebrate, our Picty is heading out on a never ending tour.   First up there's a batch of solo dates, supporting KT Tunstall around Europe, followed by some full band appearances at events in Paisley, Aberfeldy, Stirling and Edinburgh, mixed in with some stripped-back three-piece shows, on his headline UK tour Winter Rewind Acid Reflux.

Our second Strange Invitation event is taking place at Paisley Arts Centre on Sunday 22nd October in the year of our Bart 2017.   It's part of a series of acts taking place in Paisley throughout October, as part of their annual Spree Festival.   We're really chuffed that they've asked Lost Map to be involved, and we've put together a suitably top bill for the occasion.

Strange Invitation is an irregular Lost Map showcase, with various acts from the roster, alongside special guests.   The doors will open from 5pm, and there'll be live music until 10.30pm - all for the cost of £14 (£12 concessions).  You can purchase tickets here: http://lostmap.com/tickets/strange-invitation

Monoganon re-emerge, and take all the control...

September 22, 2017 Pictish Trail

Monoganon is our dear friend John B. McKenna - a Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, currently living over in Malmö, Sweden.  His previous album, the fantastic F A M I L Y , was the first ever release on Lost Map, back in 2013 - and, following a series of limited edition cassette releases, Killmens marks his glorious return.
