  • Great podcast from the best label

    Always happy to hear from Lost Map, either from a new album, postcard single or a podcast. You know when you find a record label and you’re willing to take a chance on any of their new bands, cos you trust they’ll be good? Well, that’s Lost Map. Give their podcast a listen and get some awesome music round your ears.
