It’s April Fools Day, and PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA are really struggling to make important Lost Map announcements convincingly. Will there actually be a Howlin’ Fling this year? Thankfully there’s new music from MARTHA FFION, FIRESTATIONS, plus tracks from L.T. LEIF and AMY MAY ELLIS, to break up the tedium.

This month’s interview is with Emma, Simone and Rowan of HAIRBAND, who chat to us from Rowan’s living room in Glasgow - with fellow bandmate Rachel sending messages from Berlin. They talk us through the making of their fantastic new album, Under The Plow - which is out on 21st April on very limited edition cassette.

To support what we do at Lost Map, you should join our club - PostMap Club! Membership starts at just £3, and you'll receive printed postcards delivered to your door every month, containing download codes for new music from the label. You'll receive a badge, too - as well as a newsletter and a discount of 15% on all records, CDs, tapes and other merch in our webshop. Digital & gift memberships are also available.
