Nom-de-plume of Eigg-based singer-songwriter Johnny Lynch, The Pictish Trail’s psych-folk-pop solo output snaps to a diverse creative grid among a plethora of other outlets for his musical creativity. Be it crafting furiously danceable electronica together with London-based multi-instrumentalist Adem in the guise of Silver Columns – whose 2010 album Yes, And Dance was hailed as “A GLORIOUS CURVEBALL OF A RECORD” by Q – or making In Rooms, a 2011 side-project mini-album containing 50 songs each 30 seconds long. Or since the summer of 2013 running his own DIY micro-label and musical collective Lost Map, having for ten years before that helmed the cherished and highly respected Fence Records.  The Pictish Trail’s debut solo album Secret Soundz Vol. 1 was released in 2008 (“CHARMING, FRESH AND QUIETLY OUTRÉ” ★★★★ – OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY), and followed in 2013 by Secret Soundz Vol. 2 (“INTOXICATING” ★★★★ – UNCUT). “A THROWBACK TO THE DAYS WHEN POP MUSIC COULD TRANSPORT THE LISTENER TO ANOTHER WORLD” ★★★★★ – SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
