Neck of the Woods

4.5/5 (Warner/Dangerbird)

On their third album Silversun Pickups continue to serve up catchy garage rock that is inventive, absorbingly produced and intelligent in its ideas.

Always dynamic,

The melodies here allow more light to creep in and the echoed background synths and textures bring lush depth and atmosphere.

While

Brian Aubert’s distinctive and dynamic voice floats over kinetic drums, buzzsaw guitar riffs and incredibly emotive hooks.

Neck of The Woods

The opener,

The record’s highlight,

The track builds and roars with stunning aggression, rising and falling like someone struggling to maintain their rage.
