Swoon by Silversun Pickups
Swoon is an album by Silversun Pickups, released in 2009. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 110 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Panic Switch”, on 59 lists and voted number one three times.
Swoon, Silversun Pickups' second album, came out on Dangerbird on 14 April 2009, three years after their debut Carnavas, and it pushes their fuzz-and-drone rush bigger, denser and more dramatic. The Los Angeles four-piece of Brian Aubert, Nikki Monninger, Christopher Guanlao and Joe Lester took the title from a line tucked into the closing moments of the opening track, "There's No Secrets This Year."
"Panic Switch" was the one that grabbed alternative radio by the collar, all coiled tension and sudden release, with "Substitution" and "The Royal We" following it onto the countdowns. Neck of the Woods came next, in 2012.
