NECK OF THE WOODS (2LP)

The third album from US alternative group Silversun Pickups, Lead singer/guitarist Brian Aubert told Spin magazine that the new songs sound "like a horror movie.. [2009's] Swoon was more about what I was feeling at that particular time, whereas with this one, I wanted to see what built me, It was learning why I am the way I am." The record was produced by the Grammy Award-winning Jacknife Lee (U2, Weezer, REM, Snow Patrol).
