This new Pictish Trail single is a scuzzy monster with resounding bassline upfront from the start. The vocals from Jonny Lynch (for it is he!) are deranged, the beat throbbing and it’s really all you could want from Scotland’s foremost island-dwelling record label supremo.
There are electronic effects galore and definitely some touches of Beta Band-esque madness infecting this release, as well as 60s psychedelia of various kinds, Incredible String Band possibly. It has a great stomping attack and would be suitable to get the floor going at any post-Covid hoedown, legal or otherwise…
It is also infused with the chaotic garage-band DIY spirit which has fuelled some of his previous releases. By the looks of it PT and his band have been tearing it up at a few live gigs recently, and more power to his elbow.
