"Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)", or just "Bloody Mary" to most people, led the charge on Dangerbird for Silversun Pickups' third album, Neck of the Woods, which arrived in May 2012. The band wrote it together and handed the controls to Jacknife Lee, who produced and mixed it and added keyboards of his own, with Sam Bell engineering.
It's a nervy, coiled thing, all itchy pulse and shimmering fuzz, building like a headache that turns into a rush. It broke into the top ten of Billboard's Alternative Songs chart that May and got as high as number seven in June, and James Frost directed the video.
