Torchbearers for British guitar music, The Vaccines - Justin Young (lead vocals, guitars), µrni µrnason (bass, vocals), Timothy Lanham (guitars, keys, vocals) and Yoann Intonti (drums) - are back with their sixth studio album. The title comes from a misheard lyric from Don McClean's 'American Pie,' a song that for Young fittingly evokes the death of innocence and the American Dream. After he moved to Los Angeles - a city the band has grown up being captivated by - he was forced to wrestle with the disillusionment that comes when expectations, dreams, and reality don't quite meet. Yet, though 'Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations' is an album about reconciling with loss, it's also filled with gratitude for the people and places we once loved.
