Tenterhooks is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock band Silversun Pickups. It was released on February 6, 2026, and is their third album to be produced by Butch Vig and their fourth album to be released on their own label, New Machine Recordings.
Stereogum reported that recording for Tenterhooks had had to be paused after lead singer Brian Aubert was hospitalized with an eardrum injury. [9] In an interview on the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast, Aubert clarified that he had gone to the emergency room with an ear infection – interrupting a photoshoot for the album – and was subsequently hospitalized with blood loss due to stomach damage from ibuprofen.
