4...according to our Phil on Thu 14 May, 2009.

Last one from me is an LP by Pick Up called Mouthless with is Frans De Waard of Beequeen and Staalplaat fame and Martin Luiten from Girlfriends. It's limited to 300 copies and the artwork is designed and created by the artist. So when I tell you it's part of Important's Arts & Crafts series you'll see that sort of makes sense!! The cover features a drawing of a guitar and a laptop and indeed the music sounds like it's been created using those 2 things. Suddenly it's all making sense. Nice minimal electronics with some acoustic guitar are permeating the airwaves. The track Klemmend has its roots in blues with some disjointed sounding blues riffs surrounded by some cut up electronics and wierd noises. Given the fact there's only guitar and electronics on there it's reasonably varied in styles and my favourite track is Tracing which is quite droney and it builds up into a noisey electronic drone and ends up sounding like a dying robot. Nice.... Numbered edition 'n all. Tasty!

Pick-up is a new duo of Frans de Waard (Beequeen) on laptop and Martin Luiten (Girlfriends, Uw Hypotheek Advies) on guitar. Limited edition of 300. Hand made cover artwork.

This is the 9th release in our Arts & Crafts series which pairs music with handmade artwork by the artists responsible for the recordings.
