I have to confess that the first time I saw the Silversun Pickups, I was heartily unenthused. They opened for Snow Patrol on a tour in early 2007, and I don’t know what it was, but I just didn’t like them at all. Then last year I started hearing some snippets from their 2006 album Carnavas, and getting more and more into it every time until I finally got the whole album. And now, well, let’s just say Silversun Pickups are one of two or three bands I’m most looking forward to at Coachella next week.
Their new album Swoon drops next Tuesday (April 14th), and I’m liking “Panic Switch,” the first single off it. Here’s the video for it – warning, it may cause seizures. The Metric video I posted a couple of weeks ago was one shot. I roughly estimate that this one cuts somewhere around every five frames on average.
