The band members were in agreement with the album’s starting point (the urgent synth-rocker “Neon Wound”) and closer (the aggressive, throttling “We Are Chameleons”) and admitted that everything in between, including how the rest of Widow’s Weeds was sequenced and how the album unfolded, often surprised them. To make sense of these ideas, Silversun Pickups enlisted producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth). Vig and mixer Billy Bush helped craft a confident, unrestrained album in which every instrument is clearly audible. Cure-like keyboards hold their own against riffs on “Neon Wound” and the spring-loaded “It Doesn’t Matter Why.” In the end, recording with Vig surpassed the band members’ already-high expectations. “He really listens to each band member, and he puts a great value on each individual, and what they can add to the music,” Nikki Monninger says. “It was very collaborative with him. He’s such an easygoing person, and he put everybody at ease.” During the making of the album, the band was wrestling with challenges in their personal lives. Joe Lester’s father passed away. Brian Aubert, meanwhile, found himself in an extremely dark place, for reasons he couldn’t immediately explain. “I didn’t know how to get out of it,” Aubert says. “Finally, I was just like, something big has to happen.” His solution was getting treatment and getting sober during the gap between recording sessions – a decision that immediately improved his mental health and creative outlook.” The record does have a mourning vibe, but it’s not sad,” he says. “It’s change. It’s growing up and moving on and letting go of things. And it’s okay to be sad about those things and mourn them. It’s actually healthy to do so and take the time to do it. At the end of the day, it’s going to be much better and much more fulfilling when you get through it.” Widow’s Weeds ends up being about rebirth and renewal. For Aubert, moving forward involves staying connected to his own self (and remembering to prioritize self-care) and being attuned to creative impulses when they arise. If that means going outside of his comfort zone, so be it,” Aubert says. “This album feels the most naked out of all of them.” Artist Silversun Pickups Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label New Machine Recordings Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings LP1 Neon Wound It Doesn't Matter Why Freakazoid Don't Know Yet Straw Man LP2 Bag of Bones Widow's Weeds Songbirds Simpatico We Are Chameleons Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Silversun Pickups and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Silversun Pickups Physical Thrills Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | New Machine Recordings | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th August 2022 £25.00 - £26.00 Select options Silversun Pickups Physical Thrills £25.00 - £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: New Machine Recordings Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Silversun Pickups Better Nature Rock And Pop | New Machine Recordings | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 24th September 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Silversun Pickups Better Nature £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: New Machine Recordings SKU: 0857223004243 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Silversun Pickups Neck of the Woods Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th May 2012 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Silversun Pickups Neck of the Woods £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 9362495108 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th May 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View WSTR Red, Green Or Inbetween Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Hopeless | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th August 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders WSTR Red, Green Or Inbetween £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Hopeless SKU: HR2829-1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View ROAM Backbone Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Hopeless | 1LP Released 22nd January 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders ROAM Backbone £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Hopeless SKU: HR2192-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Twenty One Pilots Blurryface: Live Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Atlantic | 3LP Released 25th November 2016 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Twenty One Pilots Blurryface: Live £75.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Atlantic SKU: 0075678664595 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Class 2-4-1 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Drunken Sailor | 1LP Released 4th August 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Class 2-4-1 £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Drunken Sailor SKU: DRUNKENSAILOR164 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drums, The Brutalism – Indies Only Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th April 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Drums, The Brutalism – Indies Only £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092764932 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royal Trux Pink Stuff Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fat Possum | 2 x 7" Released 13th September 2019 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royal Trux Pink Stuff £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP17047 Formats: 2 x 7" Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Venom P.
