Single Review

Theres No Secrets This Year is the first single from Silversun Pickups upcoming album Swoon.. This, their second long-play offering, is set for release on April 13th, and will be preceded by the single on April 6th.

Preppy and fresh, the single will mark a hectic month in the Silversun Pickups career including four London shows, a date at American festival Coachella, and theyve just played at the prestigious SXSW in Texas.

Punchy energetic guitars drawing you straight in, Theres No Secrets This Year starts like any other track around at the moment. Frontman Brian Auberts trademark voice very Brian Molko however provides a refreshing change from nasal Northern youths crooning about being hard done to.

Snarling guitars at the ready, what is lost in vocal depth is made up for in energetic guitar activity and a resonating haunter of an ending as Aubert sings better make sure youre looking closely.. Watching closely, I think that should be. As Silversun Pickups are certainly one to watch this year.
