PICAPICA - Together & Apart LP twee If only the resultant 21

If only the resultant 21 minutes sounded like something other than simply holding the fast-forward button on a CD player

and came back inspired to start a band of their own

duduk and oboe

But it would be their follow-up EP

telling them the exact same thing

PICAPICA - Together & Apart LP twee If only the resultant 21Gatefold sleeve. Debut LP. As it was with the groups 2017 EP Spring And Shade, so it is again on Together & Apart. The harmonised vocals of Josienne Clarke and Samantha Whates take centre stage here, and the interplay between them has shades of Camera Obscura as well as American folk artists like Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris and Alison Krauss. Instrumentals on Together & Apart range from gentle acoustic strums to retro singer songwriter rock.
