SILVERSUN PICKUPS

‘90s music purists have a tendency to dismiss them as a Smashing Pumpkins redux. And to many more casual audiophiles, they’re nothing more than the band behind “Lazy Eye.” But anyone who stops there misses the chance to loop-de-loop through the less explored quadrants of The Silversun Pickups’ haunted cosmos. Their previous album, Neck of the Woods, was a moody, atmospheric tangent that could have been a B-side for the Twin Peaks OST while their newest record, Better Nature, is being heralded as their foray into synth pop and electronica. Lead singer Brian Aubert has described Better Nature as being like “a quantum universe,” but drummer Chritopher Guanlao cited some additional, more unexpected influences when he spoke with Chicago INNERVIEW.
