Lost Map loves sending out postcards. The label’s very first release was a printed postcard containing a download code for a compilation of tracks from across the roster, launched at Green Man Festival in Wales in 2013. Since then, there’s been almost 100 different postcard releases - featuring a plethora of exclusive tracks, b-sides, remixes, live sessions and audio experiments from the Lost Map collective. In 2019, the label launched PostMap Club, a monthly subscription service where fans receive a package of new postcards every month, along with a newsletter and membership badge.

In this episode of the Lost Map Podcast, label boss Pictish Trail reveals seven of his favourite tracks, tucked away on postcards over the years … and reveals plans for upcoming developments to PostMap Club. There’s also a special message from each of the artists featured in this episode.

Bart from eagleowl dishes up a steaming hot buffet of facts; Martha Ffion recounts a chilling counterfeit transaction at a dodgy flea-market; Manuela takes us on a ride of her family boat; Good Dog reveals her lock-down survival techniques; Craig from Savage Mansion tells us his worst nightmare; and Rozi Plain takes us back to windy Wales, with an audio-postcard of her recent family holiday.

Here’s the track-listing:

1. eagelowl - 'eagleowl vs. woodpigeon' (I’m quiet when you’re not Tommy Perman remix)

2. Martha Ffion - ’No Applause’

3. Manuela - Cracks In The Concrete (Nadia Ksaiba 7inch Dance Dance Dance edit)
