Los Angeles-based dream pop/alt-rockers Silversun Pickups tapped Grammy-winning producer Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M., Weezer) for their third studio album. Preceded by the shoegazey, slow-burning first single "Bloody Mary," Neck of the Woods is set for release in spring 2012.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (p.78) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Brian Aubert injects wispy drama, balancing moppy-haired brooding and bracing alt-rock moves."

Alternative Press (p.80) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "WOODS is much darker and more nuanced than anything else in the Pickups' catalog....[The album] feels complete -- and essential."

Billboard (p.48) - "The album's peak comes near the end, where the band treats 'Gun-Shy Sunshine' with a perfect balance of tension and sonic space."

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "[A] technically masterful record replete with multilayered flourishes from frontman and guitarist Brian Aubert."
