I saw Silversun Pickups at the All Points West Festival in 2009. They were awesome. Since then, I have pretty much forgotten about them. Since I have worn out most of the new records I have discovered this year, I decided to pop over to the eMusic homepage and see what was new and exciting. Downloaded Neck of the Woods for fun. It is really really good. I love the electronic drums and the insanely persistent motion the create. Here are some of my favorite tunes from the record:

“Make Believe”

“Busy Bees”

“Here We Are (Chancer)”
