about
PicaPica is a British duo featuring Josienne Clarke and Samantha Whates, dual front women who create powerful harmonies atop layers of texture created by Adam Beattie and Sonny Johns with the tone and timbre from 60s west coast, sunshine pop and indie folk. Clarke and Whates met on the London acoustic music scene some years ago and immediately shared a love of singing and writing. They have been unofficially collaborating for years, often singing backing vocals for each other’s projects or just singing harmonies together for the pure enjoyment of it. Adam Beattie, Scotland’s king of soft-spoken chanson, brings gently morphing textures and detailed guitar playing to every bar, while Sonny Johns is a Grammy, Mercury and MOBO-nominated producer/engineer. Johns' bass playing and production give PicaPica’s otherworldly compositions a seriously grounded sound. The duo first appeared on the scene with their debut EP ‘Spring & Shade’ in 2016 and subsequently released a 12″ featuring the track ‘Cast in Stone’. It also features two remixes from Seb Rochford – best known for drumming with the legendary Patti Smith – who has also performed on PicaPica’s upcoming debut album.
