S3 13: November 2021 - PostMap Podcast, w/ Herbert Powell + Martha Ffion + more

Lost Map Podcast

PICTISH TRAIL has got so much to tell you about forthcoming album projects, and our newly announced HUMBUG! Christmas shows, but instead he’s decided to have an existential crisis about his lack of knowledge of the Incredible String Band back-catalogue. Bear with him, folks.

HERBERT POWELL’s long-awaited debut LP, Here In My Scheme, Here It Ends is finally released on November 5th, and their interview about the making of it is every bit as funny, weird, angular and erotic as the album itself. The band headline the Glasgow edition of HUMBUG! at Mono on Saturday 4th December. Tickets: https://www.lostmap.com/tickets/humbug

MARTHA FFION takes us down memory lane, sharply turns around and stabs us in the gut with her painful recollections in First Gig Worst Gig. Thankfully we’re soothed afterwards by a cover of her song ’Someone Who Cares’, performed by GOOD DOG. The cover version appears on a new cassette, which collects other covers, live versions, home demos and remixes, which you can check out, here: https://www.lostmap.com/products/martha-ffion-captured-on-cassette-tape

There’s also the first play of a new song from SAVAGE MANSION, and a taster of tracks from BAS JAN and ALEXIA AVINA, plus a cut from the upcoming CALLUM EASTER album. Callum headlines the Edinburgh edition of HUMBUG! on Friday 3rd December at Summerhall, alongside Gordon McIntyre (Ballboy), Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business, and Maranta: https://www.lostmap.com/tickets/humbug
