Carnavas, the 2006 debut album from L.A. fuzz-poppers Silversun Pickups, met with a pretty subdued reaction around these parts, but it holds a special little place in this writer's heart. That album has, like, two really good songs on it, and considering how many bands manage zero really good songs per album, respect is due. Also, their "Lazy Eye" video was about the best thing to see heavy rotation on MTV2's "Subterranean" a couple of years back. I'm just saying. In any case, I hope the effects-pedal abusers can manage a couple more really good songs on Swoon, their sophomore LP. Dangerbird will release Swoon on April 14.Before the album's release, the band will unveil a couple of the new songs, "Panic Switch" and "Nice to Know You Work Alone", via one of those Guitar Hero: World Tour downloadable Track Packs. The Silversun Pickups Track Pack will also include one of those really good songs previously mentioned, the Carnavas single "Well Thought Out Twinkles". [Not a good way to avoid Smashing Pumpkins comparisons, guys. - Ed.]Silversun Pickups are also partnering with Gibson/Epiphone to create a series of limited edition guitars that will be on display at various independent record stores on Record Store Day. At the moment, the band only has one live date planned: April 17 at the Coachella Festival.read more

Last night SSPU brought"Panic Switch," the big single from their latest LP, to the Ed Sullivan Theatre. The album's called Swoon, which is pretty much the only word you can use about Letterman's response to the performance. Dave even got the drummer to get up and take some applause before telling Nikki he had a fever and she was "gonna get it." ...

Silversun Pickups: Get Nostalgic For MTV Unplugged
submitted by Nick Jul 7th 2009 06:00 pm (stereogum.com)
The Los Angeles quartet showcased a number of Swoon songs when they stopped by the audience-free Spinner studio a few weeks ago. This time, complete with a string section, they're sitting down in front of a few fans sans major amplification. MTV Unplugged feels like a remnant of the old MTV days, back when they made taste, etc. In that vein, the...
