PicaPica is an artist who captivates audiences with their unique blend of folk, Americana, and indie pop. Their heartfelt lyrics and mesmerizing melodies transport listeners to a world filled with introspection and emotion. With influences ranging from Josienne Clarke to Tommy Ashby, PicaPica has carved out their own distinct sound that sets them apart from the crowd.

Similar to artists like Frank Rensen and Maria Kelly, PicaPica's music evokes a sense of vulnerability and authenticity. Their songs have a way of resonating deeply with listeners, leaving a lasting impact long after the music ends. Whether performing solo or collaborating with other talented musicians like Ellysse Mason or I See Rivers, PicaPica never fails to deliver a captivating live performance.

With each release, PicaPica continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Their latest album showcases their growth as artists while staying true to their signature sound. Fans of bands like Ferris & Sylvester or Gregory Page and his Big Band Orchestra will find themselves drawn to the enchanting world created by PicaPica's music.

Rough Trade Records joyfully introduces Together and Apart, the debut album from gorgeous acoustic outfit PicaPica. PicaPica features the vocal interplay of Josienne Clarke and Samantha Whates, dual front women who create powerful harmonies atop layers of texture created by Adam Beattie, “Scotland’s king of soft-spoken chanson” and MOBO/Mercury nominated producer Sonny Johns, a tiding of magpis picking shiny moments of tone and timbre from 60s west coast, sunshine pop, and indie folk. PicaPica are not consigned to one style or genre, and any preconceptions we may have towards semi-acoustic pop-folk is discarded as we hear their voices overlap in a modern, atonal way, the track having been influenced by both Brian Eno and Meredith Monk whilst mimicking the tradition of Nordic a cappella choral music. It manages to sound both like the ancient echoes of a distant past, with the eerie, futuristic reverberations of a modular synthesizer. Together And Apart is about health and heartache, spring and shade, love and loss and life, and PicaPica are able to balance life’s joys and sorrows beautifully, effortlessly and in continuous harmony, viewing life’s coloured photographs as imagined through their silvery negatives. RIYL: Gillian Welch, First Aid Kit, Free Design, Laura Gibson, The Association, Mamas &amp; Papas.
