Pickwick is an American indie rock, garage rock, R&B band from Seattle, Washington.
The group initially started out as a folk band, but after a 2008 tour in California the group discarded its material and changed their sound. [2] The band's name stems from Pickwick Records, where Lou Reed was employed as a songwriter in the 1960s. [3]
The group released a series of three 7" singles, also issued digitally, in 2011, and compiled them on a CD-EP entitled Myths. This was one of the best-selling albums in local Seattle stores in 2012. [2] On the strength of their early single releases, they began selling out local shows in Seattle at venues such as the Neptune and the Showbox at the Market. [4]
The band's debut full-length, Can't Talk Medicine, was released independently in the United States and on Dine Alone Records in Canada on March 12, 2013. [5] Bandmember Kory Kruckenberg, who won a Grammy in 2010 for Best Engineered Classical Album, produced the album with the band. [6] The group recruited Sharon Van Etten to sing on Can't Talk Medicine. [7] She sings on the track "Lady Luck", [8] a Richard Swift cover. [9] Swift also collaborated on the album. [10]
Reviews of Can't Talk Medicine likened the band to The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, and Sam Cooke. [11] [12] [13]
Pickwick began as a folk band with Galen Disston and Matthew Emmett; in 2008, the band grew to five members, adding Cassady Lillstrom, Garrett Parker and Michael Parker. [1] They subsequently added "producer, engineer, percussionist and mentor (aka ' father figure') Kory Kruckenberg." [1]
