SiLVERSUN PICKUPS
The Pickups unabashedly worship at the altar of fuzz: In addition to the overt Valentines and Pumpkins influence, tracks like "Melatonin" recall the Pixies' guitar squall, and the band cribs the Velvet Underground's narcotic washes of noise on "Future Foe Scenarios" and "Lazy Eye." Carnavas' first single, "Well Thought Out Twinkles," has already become an indie-rock fave with its Dorothy-in-Oz switch from monochrome to Technicolor. "We like really big, loud, fuzzy, warm music," says Aubert. "So when people say we sound like My Bloody Valentine, we can't believe it."
