Silversun Pickups

Silversun Pickups' sound on their first two albums, Carnavas and Swoon, often encompassing multiple overdubs of distorted guitars, is frequently compared to that of The Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine. Later albums Neck of the Woods and Better Nature largely dropped that aspect of the music, instead focusing on the incorporation of electronic elements.

Silversun Pickups is an alternative rock band from Los Angeles that was formed in 2000. The band released their debut EP, Pikul, in July 2005, and their debut album, Carnavas, on July 26, 2006.

Their second album, Swoon, was released on April 14, 2009. In early December 2009, the band was nominated in the Best New Artist category for the 52nd Grammy Awards.
