Pictish Trail and support

Throughout his career, Johnny Lynch (aka Pictish Trail) has furrowed his own path. The Isle-of-Eigg dwelling electro-acoustic psych-pop artist has created a unique back catalogue of recordings and performances, while refraining from the blueprint of the predictable singer-songwriter.

Instead, Pictish Trail delivers something untidily intriguing — a strange, unexpected, sardonic, yet deeply personal set of songs spanning lo-fi folk-pop to numbers inspired by Fever Ray, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Beck.

When not putting out his own music as Pictish Trail, Lynch is a champion of the British indie music scene. Through his label, Lost Map, he’s helped elevate the likes of Rozi Plain, Seamus Fogarty, Bas Jan, Callum Easter and Free Love.
