Hear it Now

On their full-length debut, Silversun Pickups, a quartet from L.A.'s trendy Silver Lake neighborhood, show all that's possible when the California sun shines on indie-rock shoegazers. After the fuzzy, Pixies-ish dreamscape of the opener, "Melatonin," things take off with "Well Thought Out Twinkles," a surge
of guitar squalls and male-female vocals that sounds like what
might have happened if the Smashing Pumpkins had driven their
ice cream cart out West. The Pickups' grandiose rock owes a great debt to its Chicago forebears "Waste It On" rips the "Rhinoceros" bass line, and "Lazy Eye," in particular, could be an outtake from Siamese Dream but the L.A. kids seem to be having fun in a way that Billy Corgan and company rarely could.
