- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Los Angeles in 2002 was only the beginning for a band that got their name
from a liquor store across the street from a club they used to play. It took
four years of playing clubs and a small EP before the band released their
mainstream notoriety, earning a place on the Billboard 200 at No.

It has been over three years since the alternative rock band Silversun Pickups
This is the first album the band has put out under their own label New Machine
Recordings, which allowed them to go back to their indie roots. With a
impressive 10 tracks and just over 49 minutes long, the band had complete
creative control over this record. It shows.
The band sounds similar to music from The Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody
Valentine, due to the use of heavy amounts of distorted guitars in most of
their tracks. The signature style for the band is often a slow jam melody with
afraid to pick up the pace and lay down some riffs.

the alternative side of their music.
often necessary to survive.
This album stands out as one of their strongest because of the overall length
of the tracks. In fact, half the tracks on here are longer than five minutes.
This provides ample time to build up, release and come back down with no weird
transitions or abrupt endings.
beats to tap your foot along too. There is a solid bass line throughout the
track, as well as some perfect harmony and backup vocals to provide the track
pop. It starts off with a slower tempo, but it builds up to a dance-like
rhythm. This track manages to stick to this basic melody for the rest of time.
The drum tempo manages to stay the same throughout the whole track, which is
catchy and does not necessarily take away from the overall appeal but does
have that get-old-quick vibe to it.
Like countless L.A.-based bands before them, mainstream recognition has been
at home in a pop crowd.
Needless to say, if you have been a longtime fan of Sliversun Pickups, then
service to long-time listeners. New listeners might only like a few tracks off
This album is far from a let-down and deserves a listen-through no matter your
musical preferences."
