It’s the “season finale” of series 5! Join PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of LOST MAP goodness, including a sneaky peek at all the new music we’re releasing through our POSTMAP CLUB. We’ve got the first single from a fresh signing called AFTERLANDS; a live session track from MARTHA FFION; and a taste of the forthcoming album from SAVAGE MANSION. We’ve also got information on our December events in London and Edinburgh, as well as an archive track from the mad-cap musical inventor, ICHI.

Our featured interview this month is with Roxy Brennan, aka TWO WHITE CRANES, who talks us through her life in music, the various scenes she’s been a part of in Bristol, Oxford and Brighton, as well as a deep dive on her brand new album - Self Build - which is out NOW on limited edition CD.

There’s also a special edition of FIRST GIG WORST GIG, featuring Emma Daman Thomas from the band ISLET - who reports on her tween BritPop fantasies, and reveals the perils of early-00’s fashion for drummers. ISLET will be performing at our HUMBUG! all-dayer at SUMMERHALL in EDINBURGH on Saturday 16th December.
