S6 01: January 2024 - Victoria Hume + more

Lost Map Podcast

It’s the start of a brand new year, and your ol’ pal PICTISH TRAIL is here to massage your inevitable Hogmanay Hangover with an hour of musical goodness from the LOST MAP label. We’ve got tunes for you from SULKA, MAKENESS, KINBOTE and SUSAN BEAR, plus a bit of goss about some upcoming Pictish tour dates, and the inside scoop on a Lost Map showcase at the Social in London.

Our featured interview this month is with VICTORIA HUME, who talks us through the making of her brand new album Radical Abundance - a collection of songs about the state of capitalism, the destruction it’s caused, the inevitabilities it’s created … and looking towards what might emerge next. It’s inspired by the book Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World by Jason Hickel and it’s based around interviews Victoria conducted with Hickel as well as other activists and agitators. Radical Abundance is out on 19th January on limited edition CD with printed zine.
