Our Take

Upon first listen to SILVERSUN PICKUPS' latest offering, Better Nature, one might be tempted to dismiss it as just another shoegaze album in a sea of shoegaze albums. But oh, how wrong that assumption would be. This album is like a fine wine - it gets better with each listen, revealing layers of intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.

Frontman Brian Aubert's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, floating over the driving rhythms and swirling guitars like a ghost in the night. Tracks like "Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance)" and "Nightlight" showcase the band's ability to create dreamy soundscapes that transport the listener to another world.

But don't be fooled by the ethereal vibes - there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface of Better Nature. The lyrics explore themes of isolation, loss, and longing, adding a depth to the album that is both compelling and unsettling.

Overall, SILVERSUN PICKUPS have crafted a truly mesmerising record with Better Nature. It may not be the most groundbreaking or innovative album of the year, but it is certainly one of the most captivating. So grab a glass of wine, put on your headphones, and let yourself get lost in the sonic world of Better Nature. You won't regret it.

Verdict: 8.5/10
