Pictish Trail chats with the first contestant in our VISITATIONS residency project, John B McKenna, aka MONOGANON.
We recorded this during Monoganon's stay on the Isle of Eigg, in July 2017. Monoganon is a singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Carluke, in Scotland - who relocated to Malmo, Sweden, about 6 years ago. After a series of mini-albums and singles, he self-released his first full-length album, Songs To Swim To, in 2011. His sophomore album, F A M I L Y, was the first official release on Lost Map Records in 2013, and was followed up by Killmens in 2017.
In this interview, we talk about John B’s name, the records he listened to during his teenage years, & his life in music - from his first early recordings, & ramshackle live shows, to the recording of his three albums. There’s also a good bit of chat about the legendarily unrelenting Glasgwegian metalcore monsters, Desalvo.
