A strange, unpredictable, sardonic and yet deeply personal record inspired by all from Fever Ray to The Flaming Lips, Liars, Mercury Rev and Beck, Island Family is Pictish Trail’s contrarian view of arcadia; a search for the euphoric in the bucolic, bound up in sometimes conflicting ideas and feelings around nature and environment, sincerity and artifice, escapism and belonging. It’s an album about how no man can remain an island, however hard he might try. Released by Fire Records, with support from Johnny’s own label Lost Map, and produced by long-term collaborator Rob Jones (The Voluntary Butler Scheme, The Gene Dudley Group), ‘Island Family’ opens with its title track, a song of death, ghosts and the ties that bind, fusing abrasive electronic beats with a tongue-in-cheek fireside folk refrain and the haunted ice cream van melody of a digitally reincarnated traditional Scottish jig. A purgative surrender to nature’s whim driven by a clattering machine drumbeat rolled in a puddle of filthy dirty fuzz, ‘Natural Successor’ is five-and-a-half-minutes of cathartic churning bass. ‘In The Land of The Dead’ is an eight-bit glitch-core reflection on island party excesses spasming into existential dread and regret, suitably accompanied by a funereal mariachi band. It’s followed by the epic ‘It Came Back’, the understated verses and arms-aloft falsetto chorus of which are accompanied by a tense, foreboding bass-driven electro hip hop instrumental with (spoiler) a brain-shattering industrial-metal meltdown. ’Melody Something’ is the album’s purest moment, a cautiously uplifting solar-powered-ballad about losing track of time in the cycle of the seasons, and the gap between memory and reality. Shapeshifting closer ‘Remote Control’ is a channel hopping cabin-fever-dream flipping from warped boyband ballad to deep-fried fuzz pop. “One of my favourite artists” Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music Artist Pictish Trail, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Fire Records Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A A1 Island Family A2 Natural Successor A3 The River It Runs Inside Of Me A4 In The Land Of The Dead A5 It Came Back Side B B1 Thistle B2 Melody Something B3 Nuclear Sunflower Swamp B4 Green Mountain B5 Remote Control Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Pictish Trail, The and more from Rock And Pop Graham's picks View Product Quick View Pictish Trail, The Thumb World Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 21st February 2020 £20.00 - £24.00 Select options Pictish Trail, The Thumb World £20.00 - £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st February 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pictish Trail, The Secret Soundz Vol 1 & 3 Rock And Pop | Moshi Moshi | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th June 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pictish Trail, The Secret Soundz Vol 1 & 3 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: MOSHILP59 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View New Order Σ(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes..
