Pikul is the debut EP from the Silversun Pickups, released on Dangerbird Records in 2005.

The album name comes from the nickname of Douglas Lee Kratz , a friend of the group who died in the 2001 Marsh Harbour Cessna 402 crash, and to whom the album is dedicated.

The name is commonly pronounced "Pickle", but the correct pronunciation is "pie-kull".

"Kissing Families" and "Booksmart Devil" were produced at Clearlake Studio in 2004.

"Comeback Kid" and "Creation Lake" were produced at Sunset Sound in 2005.
