ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of center and rough around the edges. This week, LA rock outfit Silversun Pickups return with “The Wreckage,” the first single off Tenterhooks, their upcoming seventh studio album. “I saw it as a bass song in the vein of The Cure or Jane’s Addiction,” vocalist and guitarist Brian Aubert tells Apple Music. “I wanted Nikki [Monninger] to have a signature bassline. I played it for her, she played along, and I began singing.” For him, the deafening guitars and keys give the profound verses “room to breathe.” “The lyric ‘You get what you give’ is so true,” he says. “You meet people and you live in a world that reflects what you put in.” Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
