Widow’s Weeds

Loud Wire published that Silversun Pickups are picking back up with their fifth studio album, Widow’s Weeds, which is due June 7 via their New Machine Recordings Label. The band revealed the news Thursday (April 11), while also unveiling the video for their lead single, “It Doesn’t Matter Why.”

According to SPIN, the album was produced in collaboration with legendary producer Butch Vig, known for his work on such iconic albums as Nirvana’s Nevermind.

Also, in a statement, the band described their easy chemistry with Vig.

“He really listens to each band member, and he puts a great value on each individual and what they can add to the music,” said Silversun Pickups’ Nikki Monninger. “It was very collaborative with him. He’s such an easygoing person, and he put everybody at ease.”

SPIN also published that Widow’s Weeds is Silversun Pickups’ first full-length studio album since 2015’s Better Nature. In 2017, the band released a companion EP titled Better Nature (Revised), featuring remixes and acoustic versions of the tracks on Better Nature.
