Credit: Claire Marie Vogel Today, Silversun Pickups share their new Jade Curley directed music video for “Sticks and Stones.” Brian Aubert of the band shared about the song/video, “There’s something that we want to happen. Jade’s video for my favorite song on the album is the perfect example of it: a collaboration where our songs are the catalyst for someone else to create art that is personal to them. The collision of two personal things (our song from us, visuals from Jade) makes something new that couldn’t have been created from an individual. For me, I get to step out of our world and live in the song where I feel like a spectator. Also, I think I want to start surfing now. Congrats, Jade.” Watch the music video for “Sticks & Stones” here and read about the video via Surfer. Director Jade Curley also adds: “The film for Silversun Pickup’s ‘Sticks and Stones’ is a story of love and respect for Nature’s heart, the Ocean, through the lens of Black, Indigenous, People of Color. This passing of the stoke to the BIPOC community is reflective of the progress of colonized, coastal culture. The music helps depict joyful, anti-racist celebration — bringing black and brown people back to Mother Ocean. In collaboration with Color The Water, an anti-racist organization that offers free surf and life lessons to the BIPOC community, who have not historically had the space to do so — centered in sharing, community and compassion to protect the ocean and each other. Just like riding waves saved my life, the Silversun Pickups gave this message life, and a platform, and I’m deeply honored to pass the stoke on. As Coretta Scott King said, ‘Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.’” Silversun Pickups recently confirmed additional Physical Thrills headlining tour dates in Huntington, NY, Sayreville, NJ and Bensalem, PA. Tickets for all dates are now on sale here. Silversun Pickups have partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to the PLUS1 x Noise For Now Reproductive Health Access Fund supporting access to reproductive rights and services for all. “Sticks and Stones” is off their sixth studio album, Physical Thrills, which was produced by Butch Vig and is out now via their label, New Machine Recordings. Pitchfork says of the new album: “Now, more than 15 years later, Silversun Pickups may have found their next best evolution: a little bit of everything and no f*cks to give… Physical Thrills presents Silversun Pickups as a band with a rejuvenated approach.” Physical Thrills is available for purchase on all formats here. Brian Aubert of the band shares about Physical Thrills: “This record is alive. 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. A friend that would remind me that in this instance, the whole world was feeling the same way as well. A comforting, playful, sometimes frightened, often delighted friend. A friend that was finally introduced to Butch Vig, once we got vaccinated, and blew through his studio like a tornado made of cotton candy, leaving little pieces of residue everywhere. But most importantly, this friend REALLY doesn’t give a fuck. I know. That sounds brash. I just mean it’s a thing that is truly free. And now, this little living head space no longer visits me. I visit it through this album. I hope you like it. My friend wouldn’t care. Little rascal.” Silversun Pickups Tour Dates 31 MAY           Huntington, NY           THE PARAMOUNT 1 JUNE             Sayreville, NJ               STARLAND BALLROOM 2 JUNE             Bensalem, PA              PARX CASINO 3 JUNE             Annapolis, MD            LET'S GO!
