"The Pit" was the second single from Neck of the Woods, the third studio album Silversun Pickups released on Dangerbird in 2012, and the band shares the writing credit as a unit. Jacknife Lee produced and mixed it and added keyboards of his own, with Sam Bell engineering and Matt Bishop assisting. It's a moody, swirling piece of alternative rock with a real sting in it, and it had a long life on radio: in March 2013 it climbed to number three on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
