Silversun Pickups announce new album, ’Physical Thrills’; listen to new single “Scared Together” now

Silversun Pickups have announced a new album called Physical Thrills.

The sixth studio effort from the “Panic Switch” outfit will be released August 19. It’s the band’s second record to be recorded with Nevermind producer Butch Vig following 2019’s Widows Weeds.

“This record is alive,” says frontman Brian Aubert. “It sits somewhere in between a collection of songs and an imaginary friend. A friend that from March of 2020 to April of 2021 would not only introduce itself to me but keep me company through that time of intense isolation.”

The first single from Physical Thrills is called “Scared Together” and is available now via digital outlets. Its accompanying video is streaming now on YouTube.

Silversun Pickups plan to tour the U.S. in support of Physical Thrills, hitting cities, including New York City, Boston, Nashville and Los Angeles. The exact dates and venues have yet to be announced.

Here’s the Physical Thrills track list:

“Stillness (Way Beyond)”
“Sticks and Stones”
“Hereafter (Way After)”
“Dream at Tempo 050”
“Scared Together”
“Alone on a Hill”
“Hidden Moon”
“System Error”
