Silversun Pickups

Silversun Pickups seem to push their sound forward with each new LP, and the new single "Scared Together" taken from the forthcoming LP "Physical Thrills" is no exception. The funky groove that serves as the backbone of the single, is sure to make you move, however in true SSP fashion, the song changes gears at the two minute mark, shifting to a more upbeat, melodic and classic SSP sound, with hooks in tact, before switching back to the head bobbin groove that serves as the foundation for the new single. Based on "Scared Together", it sounds like we are in for some new experimentation with SSP's sound, but it still sounds very much like SSP. I love that each album they release is not a repeat of the last, as the continue to find ways to push their sound forward, drawing from a numnber of genres and influences, whether it be emotive alt rock, shoegaze, indie rock, new wave, synth-pop and big sounding guitar rock, without ever being polarizing. Very excited to dive into the new LP and hear the single in context with the rest of the LP.
