The BotW for this week is a newer band, they only have two full length albums and a few EPs, but they are definitely a band to watch. Silversun Pickups made their debut in 2005 with the Pikul EP and followed that up the next year with their first full length, Carnavas, the next year. Their latest full length Swoon was released in April of last year. The first song that I heard by Silversun Pickups was "Well Thought Out Twinkles," which is a good song, but I wasn't too impressed. Then I heard "Lazy Eye," which made me more interested in the Silversun Pickups.
I recently picked up Swoon which is an amazing album. "Panic Switch," the first single off of Swoon, shows, in my opinion, how much the Silversun Pickups have improved their sound over their last album. I would describe their sound as "perfectly complex." The way all of the different layers of distorted guitars, keyboards, vocals, drums, and other sounds fit together makes the Silversun Pickups sound amazing. They are definitely worth a listen. Or two. Or three.
