Pictish Trail

Pictish Trail headlines PJ Molloys, Dunfermline on Friday 8 August.


Pictish Trail, the alias of Isle-of-Eigg psych-pop wonder Johnny Lynch, has resolutely furrowed his own path, steadily creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, while eschewing the blueprint of the predictable singer-songwriter in favour of something untidily intriguing.

His critically acclaimed first pair of albums were gloriously eclectic slices of lo-fi folk-pop, later revived as a deluxe double-vinyl by Moshi Moshi. His third album ‘Future Echoes’ was released to further acclaim in 2016, and was shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year Award. In 2020 Johnny released his fourth LP, ‘Thumb World’ a voyage to the outer rings of Pictish Trail’s mind at its darkest, funniest and most inventive – described by Clash as “his most dazzling, most exceptional yet”.
