From the moment they burst onto the vibrant Silver Lake scene in 2002, Silversun Pickups have been a force to be reckoned with. 20 years into a career that has racked up 10 Top 20 hits on Billboard‘s Alternative Songs and a 2010 Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist, Dangerbird Records is proud to celebrate the band's enduring legacy and equally exciting present with gorgeous colored vinyl pressings of Silversun Pickups' four label-era releases coordinated to match the iconic artwork of each release including debut EP Pikul (2005), Carnavas (2006), Swoon (2009) and Neck Of The Woods (2012).
Produced by Dave Cooley (J Dilla, Rolling Blackouts), engineered by Tom Biller (Sean Lennon, Jon Brion) and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Beck, The Kooks, Belle and Sebastian), full-length debut Carnavas reveals the Pickups in a full flowering of their considerable melodic, textural and rhythmic gifts, with 11 dark/light songs about "Melatonin," "Little Lover's So Polite," "Future Foe Scenarios" and "Well Thought Out Twinkles," among other provocatively ambiguous themes. The album rages with a kind of mixed emotion well matched to those themes, a vibrating compound of feral cries amid tender harmony, resonating powerfully with heavily filtered guitar squawk, hovering keyboard clouds, and bass & drums that often seem to lurch their way into divinely propulsive beats.
