Pictish Trail & The Comet Is Coming

The Comet Is Coming's synth guru Danalogue chats to Pictish Trail. Combining the orchestral powers of members Danalogue, Betamax, and Shabaka, The Comet is Coming take us on their most astronomical jazz-voyage to date with their latest gift ‘Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam’. An alchemic deep-dive into saxophone-forces beyond the third eye, in the company of the cosmic trio there’s never a dull moment. Their Friday night Mountain Stage set surely opened a vortex into another dimension entirely. Were you there to witness what will be one of their final live performances?  Johnny Lynch of Pictish Trail fame is something of a Green Man mainstay. Ten years ago, on the Hebridean Isle of Eigg, he launched his label Lost Map, home to a merry band of genre-fluid artists fuelled by a spirit of adventure and artistic exploration. Earlier this year many of these musicians — including Tuff Love, L.T. Leif, Savage Mansion, Kid Canaveral and Eagleowl — spent a week on Eigg recording a collective album to celebrate Lost Map’s special birthday. They emerged with seven songs that embrace “indignantly erotic post-folk chaos”, from electronic psych-pop to post-punk, dream folk to wild krautrock odysseys. The result is Lost Map Presents Weird Wave, who blew the socks off Far Out Thursday night.
