After months of hard work the moment has finally come to present to you Pitou’s long awaited debut mini album, that will be released on Mink Records on the 8th of September.

Joined by her backing vocalists Roos Meijer & Louise Lindskov, Vincent Arp on double bass, and Kobra Ensemble, and others the mini album will be presented to you in an exceptionally magical setting. During the release show the record will be made available for the first time, on 10” vinyl and CD.
‘’Do you know that feeling of unexpectedly coming across an exceptionally beautiful, lost freakfolkpearl? Like Linda Perhacs, Vashti Bunyan or more recently; Julia Holter? That same feeling comes over us with the Amsterdam-born songstress Pitou, who combines her intimate songs with classical polyphony.’’ – Grasnapolsky Festival
Pitou fuses her classical vocal background with contemporary folk, creating a sound characterised by the use of interwoven vocal harmonies, present in each track and so arranged that they seem like an instrumental composition. Then there’s the songs; melodic and clear, not like you’ve heard before. In 2015 she won the ‘Mooie Noten’ songwriting competition, and played throughout the Netherlands at festivals like Grasnapolsky and Le Mini Who. In 2016 she was selected for Dutch travelling music festival, de Popronde. She became Popronde 3voor12 talent and played, amongst others, Valkhof Festival, Noorderzon and the Amsterdam Woods Festival.
