Get ready for an exciting night of music as Silversun Pickups take the stage at The Stone Pony Summer Stage, joined by Hello Mary.
Silversun Pickups' sixth album, "Physical Thrills," came together during a unique period of downtime for the band. Forced to pause their touring plans due to the pandemic, the members found themselves at home, where frontman Brian Aubert began channeling his creative energy into writing new songs. Initially, Aubert didn't intend these songs for Silversun Pickups, but as they evolved, they became the foundation for "Physical Thrills."
The band reunited with producer Butch Vig, known for his work with Garbage, to bring "Physical Thrills" to life. The album showcases a diverse range of sounds and influences, from shoegaze-infused distorted synths to bouncy pop-tinged tunes and pared-down ballads. The band members embraced experimentation and exploration, resulting in some of Silversun Pickups' most stunning songs yet.
"Physical Thrills" is a reflection of Aubert's comfort in newfound isolation, with a juxtaposition of playfulness and angst. The album's instrumentation transforms according to the weight of the lyrics, creating a dynamic listening experience.
With whimsical moments and interconnected melodies, "Physical Thrills" is meant to be experienced as a cohesive body of work. Each song carries its own unique energy while contributing to the overall narrative of the album.
For Silversun Pickups, "Physical Thrills" represents a milestone in their musical journey, showcasing their growth and evolution as a band. With twenty-two years together, they continue to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories, proving that their creativity knows no bounds.
Don't miss your chance to experience Silversun Pickups live at The Stone Pony Summer Stage, where they'll be performing tracks from "Physical Thrills" and more. It's sure to be an unforgettable night of music and celebration.
