From Mess & Noise:
This EP sits somewhere between her celebrated debut on Chapter Music and the improvisational soundscapes of ‘Pre-Flight Jitters’, released on the boutique noise label Sabbatical Records. The six short songs on ‘Not So Still’ were recorded at various times and locations throughout last year but, taken as a group, they represent a coherent cycle. There is a fragility in the sparse instrumentation and the loping, see-sawing rhythms. Less reliant on the loop pedals that were central to Pikelet’s early work, these vignettes are constructed around organic percussion, minimal keyboard and synth parts and melodic vocal lines which exude an almost naive charm.
