SUMMARY:Pictish Trail
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Harlaam artspace gallery exhibition “Guiser” we welcome Pictish Trail. With support from James Mauby and C5.\nThroughout his career Pictish Trail has resolutely furrowed his own path\, steadily creating a unique catalogue of recordings & performances\, while eschewing the blueprint of the predictable singer-songwriter in favour of something untidily intriguing.  \nIsland Family is the fifth album from Isle-of-Eigg dwelling electro-acoustic psych-pop artist Johnny Lynch aka Pictish Trail\, and released by Fire Records & Lost Map in 2022. A strange\, unpredictable\, sardonic and yet deeply personal record inspired by all from Fever Ray to The Flaming Lips\, Liars\, Mercury Rev and Beck\, Island Family is Pictish Trail’s contrarian view of arcadia; a search for the euphoric in the bucolic. \nWhen not putting out his own music as Pictish Trail\, Johnny Lynch is a fulcrum of the British independent music community. Through his label Lost Map\, he champions a diverse and idiosyncratic array of extraordinary talent\, helping to elevate the likes of Rozi Plain\, Alabaster dePlume\, Bas Jan\, Callum Easter and Free Love
