An eight-minute journey of transformation and release building to a motorik krautrock inspired crescendo, ‘Another Way’ is the brand-new single by isle of Eigg-based Scottish psychedelic electronic-pop ogre Johnny Lynch, AKA Pictish Trail. Taken from forthcoming sixth full-length ‘Life Slime’, and produced by Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP).

“This song sits right at the centre of the album for a reason – it’s the emotional hinge-point of Life Slime. It’s a song about trying to stay grounded when someone is determined to misunderstand you. When people disagree, it can so quickly turn into accusation, as if you’re deliberately causing harm. You start to feel like you’re being rewritten in someone else’s story, cast as the villain in a version of events you don’t even recognise. The line ‘What I see of myself just isn’t true’ is about that moment – when the reflection you’re being shown doesn’t match who you are, but you still feel the weight of it.

“The song starts softly, building slowly, almost cautiously, and grows in confidence as it goes on – like finding the courage to speak up, or to stand by your own sense of self. By the end, it becomes something much freer and more expansive. The stone in the song doesn’t just break, it breaks out – crumbling, rolling, escaping. That’s the liberation at the heart of it: the moment you realise you don’t have to stay fixed in place, holding up someone else’s construction. You can move, change, and still keep your core.”
