Lost Map are excited to announce brand new music from Shropshire-born, Glasgow-based singer, guitarist and writer of gorgeously bucolic torch songs Molly Linen.
‘A Lot to Give’ unfolds one evening to the drone of an old air organ and a delicately finger-picked acoustic guitar. “An imagined conversation with an imagined person who lacks empathy,” says Molly. “A heart broken like a carelessly dropped vase.”
A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
