Song of the Day - August 16, 2006

Silversun Pickups came out with their first full length album Carnavas late last month. Their music is a throwback to the 90's, especially the Smashing Pumpkins; one of their most obvious influences. Lead vocalist Brian Aubert has a similar style to Billy Corgan, while the effect laden guitars construct aural structures that twirl and swirl down your ear canal. My favorite track is "Well Thought Out Twinkies," a high energy romp of a song that has a slightly psychedelic effect from the guitar riff used during the intro. Click here to listen.
