I am kinda bummed about this album..
you could build a great album out of all three recordsI'd choose 7 songs from Carnavas and 6 songs from Swoon.. and nothing from the new one. :(

unless the new one contains some massive growers that haven't stuck in my head just yet

"simmer" and "the pit" are both really great, "simmer" particularly in the vein of "the royal we." that build

The chorus of "Bloody Mary" is constantly in my head. And they had a stopgap EP thing from last year, and the first song on that is really great - "Seasick." I would add those to your ideal album playlist.

yeah "bloody mary"'s really worked its way in. "seasick" was on an original draft of the playlist but it felt distinctly lesser than the other songs.

They had a two song single for the last Record Store Black Friday thing and it was supposedly two Carnavas-era songs recently recorded, but I can't find it streaming anywhere. Curious to hear it.

new album is totally their best, and proceeds logically from "cannibal"

Great video, good song. I don't think I've heard anything from this group since they sounded like Smashing Pumpkins; this one has more in common with DCFC. More importantly. Silversun Pickups - do they make a good living?

this is good

Can't wait to hear this, but can confirm that the video looks terrible without sound.

my wife is a big fan of this band now so we went and saw them last night and they were great. wish I'd seen them earlier. i still find all their albums after the first one kind of a samey blur but they were certainly fun in a 90's way live.
