Having recently signed to Moshi Moshi Records, Johnny Lynch, aka The Pictish Trail, has announced the release of his eclectic and critically acclaimed albums 'Secret Soundz Volumes 1 & 2' will be getting a full release on June 9. The double album will be available on limited gatefold 12” vinyl, gatefold CD and digitally.
Listen to album track ‘I’ve Been Set Upon’ here - also available as free download - below.
Lynch’s eloquent songs are as wildly varied as his selection of brightly coloured bobble hats. His distinctive voice has been accompanied by everything from acoustic guitar to a full-on four piece metal band to throbbing dance beats and samples, and often during the course of the same gig. With two albums, numerous mini-albums, EPs, and singles under his belt as The Pictish Trail, Lynch has also moonlighted as one half of demented dance-pop duo Silver Columns with Adem (Fridge) for their 2010 album Yes and Dance.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Lynch is also busy running his own musical empire from the remote Hebridean island Eigg (56°54’N, 06°10’W) he calls home. Following ten successful years running Fife’s infamous Fence Records, last year, Lynch moved on to pastures new and founded Scotland’s most exciting new label Lost Map Records. He’s also putting on the inaugural Howlin’ Fling Festival on Eigg in July.
The Pictish Trail will head out on tour in May and will be hosting a Lost Map showcase in London on May 18th with Tuff Love, Monoganon, comedian Josie Long and more special guests TBA. Full live dates below.
