Folk newcomers PicaPica to release debut EP Spring & Shade next month

PicaPica, led by duelling frontwomen Pica One and Pica Two (real names Josienne Clarke and Samantha Whates), is a full-band collaboration from two acoustic stalwarts with Adam Beattie and Sonny Johns. Though Clarke and Whates have appeared and worked together on a number of occasions, PicaPica is the first 'proper' excursion as a unified project.

Johns (a Grammy and MOBO-nominated producer) has recorded and mixed the short-player, which will be getting a limited edition 10" release in the new year.
