Alternative rock band Silversun Pickups was formed in 2002 in the Silver Lake music scene of Los Angeles. Its style integrates indie rock and shoegaze, with an emphasis on distorted guitar sounds.
Following the release of its EP Pikul in 2005, Silversun Pickups released Carnavas (2006), which features the singles "Lazy Eye" and "Well Thought Out Twinkles." This album reached moderate commercial success.
Swoon (2009), which includes "Panic Switch," marked the peak of the band's career up to that point and earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. As new passengers on the fame train, Silversun Pickups toured with Placebo, Manchester Orchestra, and Muse.
In 2012, Neck of the Woods allowed the band to playfully experiment with psychedelic sounds more than they had on previous albums. Featuring the singles "Mean Spirits" and "Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)," this album illuminates the struggle of growing up while also maintaining a bridge between the past and the present.
