Neck of the Woods, the third album from Los Angeles' Silversun Pickups, came out on May 8, 2012, through the independent Dangerbird label. Jacknife Lee, whose résumé runs to R.E.M. and Bloc Party, produced, and he gave the band's fuzzed-out wall of guitars a darker, more cinematic edge, all creeping tension and sudden release.
"Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)" was the lead single, first unveiled on the band's own YouTube channel on March 25, a jittery, pulsing thing that keeps threatening to boil over and finally does. "The Pit" is a slow, heavy grind that swells into a roar, and "Dots and Dashes (Enough Already)" wraps its restless rhythm in a dreamy haze. Before release day, MTV's Buzzworthy streamed the whole album online. The cover, suitably eerie, is a photograph by Todd Hido.
