The practice of Sonic Healing Immersion Therapy (S.H.I.T.) involves interpretation and emotional amplification of a client’s state of mind via improvised, yet expert sound administration.

An often confusing and unpredictable experience, S.H.I.T. invites participants to follow and respond to a series of seemingly irrelevant instructions. The result is an intense hit of noise at just the right frequency to annihilate whatever ills are circling. Often too loud to think (helpful for eradicating intrusive thoughts) S.H.I.T. tends to last around three minutes and and has been clinically proven.

With many thanks to participants who submitted their Automatic Tendencies self-assessment and provided consent for publication in this sonic research. We hope you are satisfied with your treatment plan and that it brings clarity to your psychic situation.

The S.H.I.T. collective consists of sonic healers and collaborators who more regularly play music as Firestations, Bit Cloudy, The Leaf Library, Chin of Britain and Seaglass.

Lyndhurst are a new UK duo consisting of long-time musical collaborators Oscar Ball and Dan Carney. Their output as Lyndhurst - a project born from working together on library music for the Universal Production Music imprint Lo Editions - is hooky and unnerving in equal measure; a compelling blend of electronica, post-rock, soundtrack, lo-fi, psych, jazzy weirdness, enticing melodies, and strange drones, loops, and noises. Sunken rhythms and smashed fanfares to make you feel slightly different.

‘Swimming’, the first Lyndhurst single, will be available across streaming/download platforms from May 12th. It is the opening track from their debut EP ‘Platforms’ - released in July - and is one of the EP’s sunnier offerings. Melodies float pleasingly over motorik loops, before pulsing rhythmic textures and ringing bass guitar chords rise to a triumphant, satisfying crescendo. An electronic hug for the upcoming warm weather, and a soundtrack for summers yet to come. 

A second single from ‘Platforms’, ‘Transcriptor’, will be released in June. 

We like ‘Swimming’ very much, and hope you do too. Oscar and Dan are available for interviews, playlists, and luxury product endorsements.

‘Away’ is the heavenly debut single by Shropshire’s finest Molly Linen – a brand new signing to Lost Map. Backed by the exclusive track ‘Over That Hill’, it will be sent out as part of the PostMap Club subscription service in May, as well as made available via all streaming services from May 24, 2019. 

Molly Linen is a songwriter and guitarist from the West Midlands, now based in Glasgow. She creates atmospheric, captivating and personal songs, led by melodic guitar lines and lulling yet hypnotic vocals, drawing influences from artists such as Devon Sproule and Nick Drake. Members of her band include Beth Chalmers, Caio Wheelhouse, Colin Campbell and Liam Chapman (who also drums with C Duncan). ‘Away’ and ‘Over That Hill’ were recorded by Ronan Fay at Green Door Studios in Glasgow. “‘Away’ touches on remembering some feelings of difference between myself and other people at a younger age,” Molly explains, “whilst ‘Over That Hill’ is about how climbing a hill can sometimes help me put things into perspective.” 

Molly Linen’s debut EP will be released later this year.
