Life Slime is the sixth full-length album by Pictish Trail (AKA Johnny Lynch) — a strange, tender, psychedelic electro-pop record shaped by transformation, exhaustion, hope, guilt, and renewal. Written at home on the Isle of Eigg and recorded at Mike Lindsay’s studio down in Margate (Tunng / LUMP), the album follows 2022’s critically acclaimed Island Family, further refining Lynch’s world of lo-fi electronics, warped pop melodies, baggy psych rhythms and emotionally direct songwriting. It’s a record that balances woozy synth-pop, motorik propulsion and intimate acoustic songwriting, all infused with the emotional messiness that gives the album its title.
Available On: Primordial Blue-in-Pink Goo Edition Vinyl, Toxic Blue Lagoon Edition vinyl with alternate cover artwork (Shop Exclusive) and CD.
