Lost Map Podcast

PICTISH TRAIL catches up with his pal LAURA to talk through some big changes coming to PostMap Club. There’s our new monthly vinyl tier, VINYL DUNKERS, the option to sign up for the full 2027 Vinyl Collection, and an upgrade for Club Biscuit members. We explain how it all works ahead of the launch on Monday 9th November. There’s also new music from this month’s postcard releases: a rollicking return from CALLUM EASTER, a sweeping instrumental introduction to LUCE MAWDSLEY, and COUNT FLORIDA’s beautiful ode to a much-missed friend. Our featured interview is with MIKE and LAURA from FIRESTATIONS, who talk us through the making of the music and artwork for their new album, International Dust. Out now on LP and CD via Lost Map, it’s a record we’re very happy to spend some more time inside.

Broadcasting from a fairly decent chain hotel somewhere in Newcastle, PICTISH TRAIL shares updates from the road and chats through forthcoming releases from OWEN & THE EYEBALLS and ACOLYTE. Meanwhile, back at home, LAURA delivers perhaps the clearest explanation of PostMap Club to date, as we also spin fresh tracks from this month’s mailout, including music from SULKA, FIRESTATIONS, and new signing DOVETAILED.

This month, PICTISH TRAIL is joined by LAURA for a chat about the upcoming tour - the logistics, the mild (and not-so-mild) anxieties, and whatever else manages to derail the conversation along the way - with music from this month’s PostMap Club selections woven in throughout. That includes new bits from BOTH HANDS, FAITH ELIOTT and MANUELA, all making appearances between the rambling. There’s also a feature interview with ISA GORDON, who talks about the making of her new album 8 Men - reworking traditional songs and covers into something far more strange, textural and immersive.

This month, PICTISH TRAIL reflects on a laptop-free escape to Berlin and talks through the making of a particularly slimy new video landing later in March, whilst LAURA gives us some elocution lessons, and scintillating childhood memories of Linford Christie’s Record Breakers. Alongside the usual life updates, there’s fresh PostMap Club music from ISA GORDON, SULKA, and ACOLYTE, plus an archive gem from CLÉMENTINE MARCH to close the show. Our feature interview sees MALCOLM JACK in conversation with SEAMUS FOGARTY about the making of his new album Ships, out this month.To support what we do at Lost Map, join our membership club - PostMap Club!
