Silversun Pickups Artist Snapshot:

Los Angeles's Silversun Pickups play a brand of indie rock that weaves layered guitars and effects around surging, melodic tunes that recall Smashing Pumpkins. In addition to their gauzy instrumental sound, the interacting vocals of guitarist Brian Aubert and bassist Nikki Moninger are distinctive. The band's first EP PIKUL was released in 2005, and the band built a strong following in their hometown and elsewhere touring with Wolfmother and Snow Patrol, among others. In 2006 the band's full-length, CARNAVAS, appeared, adding fuel to their growing reputation and by the end of the decade, the act had cemented their position as one of the more eclectic regulars on alternative radio.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.94) - "[The band] show all that's possible when the California sun shines on indie-rock shoegazers....The Pickups' grandiose rock owes a great deal to its Chicago forebears..."
Spin (p.85) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "By turns darkly fuzzy and brightly melodic, CARNAVAS is an auspicious record that manages to evoke a collaboration between Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine."
Alternative Press (p.228) - "Always anchored with a friendly hook and sometimes even tender harmonies, CARNAVAS' dark/light tunes explode into a controlled chaos of distortion and white noise."
Magnet (p.108) - "Aubert's vocals are paisley-print detachment one moment and howling catharsis the next, while his insistent pop strumming devolves into waves of guitar and keyboard noise."
CMJ (p.5) - "This L.A. group takes the forlorn moods, sing-a-long choruses and stretched-out codas of current West Coast indie pop and takes them on a starship space ride."

Title Note

Silversun Pickups: Brian Aubert, Nikki Monninger, Christopher Guanlao, Joe Lester.

Recording information: 2006.

The Los Angeles band's debut full length blends pop smarts, propulsive, grungy rhythms, and the sensitive vocals of its singer Brian Aubert. Combining elements of Smashing Pumpkins and fey Britpop with a wide-eyed innocence, songs like "Little Lover's So Polite" and "Well Thought Out Twinkles" exude an infectious, joyous energy that propels their hooks and choruses into the subconscious.
