A shimmering hymn to life’s strange alchemy with a baggy nineties pulse and waves of reverb-drenched harmony, ‘Infinity Ooze’ is the brand-new single by isle of Eigg-based Scottish psychedelic electronic-pop ogre Johnny Lynch, AKA Pictish Trail. Produced by Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP), it’s on streaming platforms now via Fire Records.
Both ‘Infinity Ooze’ and previous single ‘Hold It’ are taken from the forthcoming sixth full-length Pictish Trail album Life Slime, the follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed Island Family. A fan first / tour exclusive pre-release Primordial Blue-In-Pink Goo Edition is available to order now on vinyl and CD via Fire Records and Lost Map (full album release date TBA). Pictish Trail is touring around the UK throughout the remainder of 2025, including intimate solo shows in small rooms around lesser-visited corners of rural Scotland, plus support slots for folktronica legends Tunng, and a headline date at The Social in London on Wednesday, November 26. Tickets for all gigs are on sale now.
About ‘Infinity Ooze’, Pictish Trail writes:
“I was trying to write about hope. Life has felt messy and difficult over the past few years, and I’d found myself writing songs about how slimy and complicated things can get — and the residue it leaves behind. This song flips that idea, turning the slime into something life-giving: a love song to the serum that binds us, a meditation on the strange, transformative energy that keeps reforming and expanding out into cosmic infinity.”
