Pictish Trail has also announced an April/May UK tour.

In the wake of last month’s single Werewolf Ending, the new Pictish Trail album Life Slime has been confirmed for release on April 10th.

That track is set to close the album after recording sessions at producer Mike Lindsay’s MESS studio in Margate, while the follow-up Sorry Eyes is also streaming online now.

“A song that lives in that messy psychological space where you internalise someone else’s anger and start directing it at yourself,” Johnny Lynch has said of it.

The hook deliberately blurs ‘sorry eyes’ and ‘sorry ass’ – it’s meant to sound like self-mockery, the voice in your head when you’re convinced you’ve failed. The confusion between those phrases still makes me laugh, and it’s been especially fun to play live.
