(2019) PicaPica - Together & Apart
Review:
Meandering on love, loss, and the clarity that comes with it all is PicaPica’s shimmering debut album Together & Apart. The quartet are a magical attack on the senses. Josienne Clarke and Samantha Whates’ intoxicatingly evocative harmonies weave a tapestry of their world, into which Adam Beattie breathes colour with his intricate guitar playing, and Sonny Johns’ complex bass compositions and production style, round it off, bringing everything to life. Given that their name is taken from the common magpie, who are synonymous with the rhyme: “one for sorrow, two for joy…” it comes as no surprise that their album should be an amalgamation of each of these things – with the lines occasionally blurring between the two. The album opens with its namesake, which is an atmospheric and hazy sound bath that does little to prepare the listener for what lies ahead. As it unfolds, we’re led on a journey that is all at once charming, emotive and soothing. ‘On The Wing’ has an essence of unwinding after a long afternoon. A warm bass line is interwoven with sparse flute notes that are littered throughout the album. There is a constant sense of comfortability within the songs, even in the paranoid minor chorus of ‘Sucker Punch’. With instrumentals and vocals that are full of quirks, it can be easy to overlook their cunning lyrics. The labyrinthine guitar solo of ‘Cast In Stone’ almost steals the spotlight from lyrics, “Am I a fool to have played along? You didn’t break me, I’ve never been strong.” ‘Teeth & Chin’ and ‘To K(no)w One’ fall into the “one for sorrow” category, with their slightly romanticised and melancholic take on the battles with your own mind and happiness.
