Silversun Pickups – “New Wave”

Last month Silversun Pickups released "The Wreckage" and announced their forthcoming seventh studio album Tenterhooks, out next February. Today the LA four-piece has returned with another preview of the project with the single "New Wave."

The band's Brian Aubert revealed that "New Wave" was the first song they recorded for Tenterhooks, setting the tone. He added:

I used to be in love with huge guitar swells, and I’ve fallen back in love with them—just in my older brain. ‘New Wave’ is a reference to feeling like, ‘This thing is going to hit me’. You’re either going to get in the ocean or lay in the sand. It’s not even up to you. You’re not sure when it’s going to happen, but it’s going to happen. How do you prepare for it?”

Listen to "New Wave" below.

Tenterhooks is out 2/6 via New Machine.
