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

Folks have seemingly taken to Los Angeles quartet Silversun Pickups' "Panic Switch." Actually, judging from the positive comments when we posted a link to a stream of their second album Swoon, your love of early '90s Smashing Pumpkins-style alterna-rock runs deep. The last time we saw the band they were at the Glass House in Pomona. This time th...

Swoon is the name of the sophomore release by L.A.'s own Silversun Pickups. The sound of the disc in whole has a lot of the same characteristics as the previous release, with the static like guitar driven riffs, and a spaced out Smashing Pumpkins vibe.
