Silversun Pickups - Sticks And Stones (Official Audio)

[@chiyon8189]

My son (7 yo ) LOVES this song and started playing it on piano. He has been playing piano since 4 yo so I started writing an easy piano version of it 😊 (I am a music teacher. ) My husband and I went to the Boston live lately😉 It was so goooooooood 🤩

[@amieclay8409]

I was so surprised how this song has grown on me. It's fantastic.

[@dfizzle323]

This album just keeps getting better with each listen, especially this song!

[@zachrizzo6525]

That transition from Stillness is magnificent

[@chriscummins2423]

It is

[@generalralph6291]

Right? Awesome talent.

[@rowanclingman4528]

YES!!!!!

[@amieclay8409]

Absolute perfection.

[@deefuze1151]

This is a complete BANGER of an earworm. Like... spice worm level. Love the obvious Latin overtones through the main beat, and the flip to an Asian influenced breakdown at the bridge. It's catchy, amazingly easy to chill to, and yeah pretty much like every other song in their library, honestly. I consider them one of the most underrated bands of all time, right up there next to William Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins specifically and not JUST the "popular" albums (I'm looking at you Infinite Sadness, although I love you too). No, I'm talking about Corgan's BEST stuff, the... "acquired taste" stuff if you will. Like the Adore album (gasp!) and everything since then. Yes, even the space opera... which is amazing in its entirety and just gets under your skin and makes itself at home. If you're a Pumpkins fan and yes... even a Pickups fan, you know EXACTLY what I mean. Much like the descriptor I use to define the art I create myself, Silversun Pickups are "90% being talented and 10% being unhinged". I mean that in a totally good way. :)

The SSPU are back!! Let's goooo boys!!! 😁😁✌🏾🤙🏾

[@LittleQween65]

Your music brings me peace and that's what the world 🌎 needs.

[@mjolner6792]

How beautiful are the vocals

[@sundmanmichael]

I never comment, but heard these guys for the first time on comedy bang bang yesterday…they played this song duo and it blew me away. I read all the comments and nobody has mentioned the odd time signatures everywhere. Really cool stuff!!!

[@IIESPD00DII]

Brian floating on this one

[@turnstilerockets]

Instant fave as soon I first heard this song! 🥰

[@mckenziegrigg9374]

Same here!

[@kostadinosdelta510]

Always better and better ...

[@christodd8949]

I love the 'glitchy' part at 2:33. Damn they made a solid album.

[@McFlurryMachineIsDown]

I'm not going to lie I thought it was skipping when I was listening to it the first time lol

[@christodd8949]

@@McFlurryMachineIsDown haha same. I actually went back just to make sure.

[@FrostPDP]

Is that really deliberate, though? I feel like the song just skips out, it doesn't seem like an intentional break in the beat. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong song?

[@FrostPDP]

Yep, it's a different song on this album. I'm fairly sure there was an upload error of some sort. Not sure what the song in question is, offhand.

[@Joker777420]

It’s the ONLY thing I would change on this album. I’ve head it a billion times now and I don’t think it adds anything. Definitely could of left that part out. Best song on the album in my opinion but shit the entire album is so good it’s hard to call a favorite

[@SandieCastaneda]

Omg I can’t wait for the concert!! 😱😱😱🤩😭

[@Chasetenny]

Heck ya, more dreams at Tempo!! 119 was my fav, now we got 3 more!

[@darkaiel]

Just heard the acoustic on CBB and had to hear the studio track. This is absolutely going to be on repeat for a while. So good!

[@IsimplyWill]

YES! Long time SSPU fan. Didn't feel their last album, but finally! A track to play on repeat. This album definitely gives me more mature "Swoon" feels

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

THis is one of the most dynamic songs I've heard by SSP. The change from that stiffer, harder rhythm guitar throughout to the more melodic sound in the chorus sections make the song. Both would be interesting on their own, but the dynamic between the two sounds just makes this song. Plus the melodic part builds up throughout the song. There's another layer each time it plays. This may be my favorite by them overall.

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

Like the last time that chorus plays you got keys, lead guitars, vocalizations... Just brilliant.

[@rowanclingman4528]

Its become my favorite by them all time. Beat out Panic Switch.

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

@@rowanclingman4528 for awhile my favorite was The Wild Kind. This may have beat it.

[@jr2904]

Nice, I love the groove!

[@agesflow6815]

Thank you, Silversun Pickups.

[@ChrisKotra]

This one is a great one!!! Love the higher vocals.

[@ricardomele1004]

Amazing 🥰 Regards from Costa Rica

F*CKING PERFECTION! SSPU RULES THE WORLD

[@ebishop7s553]

Best yet

[@steverz91]

Another banger you guys rock!

[@IIESPD00DII]

What a bop

[@paolocastillo7171]

I LOVE IT

[@joselopezperez1943]

Gracias sspu !!

[@eagletkc]

Are those sound gliches suppose to be there? and has anyone confirmed with the band this to be the case?? Gliches @ 2:34, 2:52, 4:01...am I missing others?

[@jabes5839]

There's no need to listen with detail to know that they're there on purpose, if they were glitches wouldn't be synchronised with the song, besides in the last one you can hear Brian's voice before the glitch ends, and his voice doesn't sound like it was messed up by the glitch, so i think those glitch noises are just sound effects

[@eagletkc]

@@jabes5839 Oh ok. I have down loaded by purchase from iTunes that had problems before and I didn't know if I should send Apple a message for such a report. Bottom line glitches are dumb! I have seen perfectly executed glitches in songs but they were from a rave/ techno sound glitch that fit the mood...I love S.P. but these glitches are horribly placed, horribly managed and horribly executed. S.P. please do not attempt this ever again...su su suuuuuucks!

[@cherylnightshade8518]

Instagram targeted ads have actually done me really well... I'm now a fan.

[@deviateedits]

Gives me 'songbirds' and 'simpatico' vibes, This album is like a combination of the best of all their other stuff (except for pikul, which I'm slightly disappointed about. I love Pikul, and it would be great to have some of the rawer, grittier melancholy vibes it brings. But at least we get everything else covered)

[@ynh1989]

0:17-0:19 ❤️

[@olivierroquelle8007]

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if the glitchy sections are also audible on the physical supports (CD, vinyl…)? _ I mean if it is an upload issue on digital versions? (Even if rhythmically I guess it isn’t 😞) I would be glad to know if there are some releases without it and so, to get it. Thanks a lot for any acknowledgement!! 🙏🏻

[@rowanclingman4528]

It is meant to be there

[@olivierroquelle8007]

That glitch noise scared the shit out of me. Catchy tune, nonetheless.

It's jarring but in an oddly fitting way haha

[@horthyfaw3323]

Brilliant. This could do without the electronics and digital percussion. Everyone's an "artiste" though I guess. I bet this will be 100 times better live.

[@stefan.avramov]

wtf is this sound at 2:33, mixing mistake?

what is the time signature of the intro?
