Fans of Scottish folk and the Green Man Festival won’t need introducing to Pictish Trail, so good news for you is that he’s back with a new EP. It’s called ‘Follow Footsteps’ and you can hear the whole thing on Sept 13th.

This new selection has been assembled alongside Susan Bear of Tuff Love.

He says: “Suse introduced me to the music of Mitski, and I introduced her to Bonnie Prince Billy’s ‘Master And Everyone’. We hatched a plan. It has been revitalising to try this approach, working with different players – and I’m so happy with the recordings. It definitely feels like it has scratched an itch. There was a point where I was wondering whether I should have made a full album in this style – but it felt more natural to keep these songs together, as they had been written at the same time, and I didn’t want to get bogged down working on older songs for too long, while I’m in the process of writing new ones. Plus, everyone likes an EP, right?”

Have a listen to ‘Melody Something (Summer Redux)’ to get you in the mood.
