band of the week: Silversun Pickups


what can I say about LA's Silversun Pickups? at first, I really didn't get their 2009 album Swoon. it all kinda faded into a blur to me, but I revisited it a while later and it hit me, hard. maybe it was circumstance. I think that Silversun Pickups are a band for a certain mood, and that may or may not be morose. certain elements need to align in order for the pieces to come together. but when they do, you're in for a real treat.

I think loneliness can be useful at times--it can help you enjoy music that is often too complex for the emotionally content.
