Our featured interview this month is with VICTORIA HUME, who talks us through the making of her brand new album Radical Abundance - a collection of songs about the state of capitalism, the destruction it’s caused, the inevitabilities it’s created … and looking towards what might emerge next.  It’s inspired by the book Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World by Jason Hickel and it’s based around interviews Victoria conducted with Hickel as well as other activists and agitators. Radical Abundance is out on 19th January on limited edition CD with printed zine.

It’s November, the nights are fair drawing in, and LAURA reckons it's the start of winter already. PICTISH TRAIL is still in a summery mood, and tries to pay Laura a compliment on her hair - but ends up talking about his own greasy locks for possibly too many minutes. Thankfully there’s some new music to keep you entertained - the obligatory track from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, an archive track from EAGLEOWL, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from TWO WHITE CRANES, VICTORIA HUME and SUSAN BEAR.

There’s no featured interview this month, but we have resurrected an ol’ fave - FIRST GIG WORST GIG, in which artists tell us about the first gig they attended as a punter, and the very worst gig they’ve ever played themselves. It’s a bumper edition of the segment, with confessions from both SEAMUS FOGARTY and ALEXIA AVINA, who conveniently have new releases out this month on vinyl. PLUG PLUG PLUG.

Somehow PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA have survived Lost Map’s busiest month, celebrating the label’s official 10th anniversary. But if you thought all the milk had run dry from our birthday celebrations … well, you were probably right … but we’re still squeezing the udders for one final dusty spray of cherished memories.

There’s chat about all the fun times had at HOWLIN’ FLING!, and our experiences at GREEN MAN festival, as well as a trip down memory lane, playing our fave tracks of the past ten years by MANUELA and TUFF LOVE.

We’ve also got brand NEW tunes from our PostMap Club - including the second single from LOST MAP presents WEIRD WAVE, the return of SEAMUS FOGARTY, plus a fresh cut from SULKA’s forthcoming album Distractions.
