Better Nature, released through Silversun Pickups own label New Machine Recordings, has received high praise from fans and critics alike, revered for production and mixing credit going to studio masters Jacknife Lee (U2, Two Door Cinema Club, Crystal Castles) and GRAMMY winner Alan Moulder (My bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Royal Blood). Since their 2009 release Swoon, that earned them the GRAMMY for best new artist that year, the band has become a household name praised for their “inimitable merging of ethereal melodies and pure sonic force” and are regarded “among the most dynamic and creative rock bands of the modern era”. The Los Angeles based alternative rock band has been rocking shows world wide ever since and don’t show any signs of slowing down.
