Torchbearers for British guitar music, The Vaccines, are back with their sixth studio album "Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations". 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 Carnation"s is an album about reconciling with loss, it's also filled with gratitude for the people and places we once loved. "Pink carnations symbolise gratitude and tell a person they'll never be forgotten," says Young. "So whether it's the loss of a lover, or a friend, or even just a dream, the record is a reminder that they'll live on in whatever capacity the mind allows them to. And it's a reminder to keep on dreaming."

Produced by Andrew Wells (Halsey, Phoebe Bridgers) with Mixing from Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips), "Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnation"s is an immediately anthemic addition to the band's discography. With a mammoth five UK Top 5 albums - including a Number 1 with 2012’s Come of Age - and a fierce live reputation forged through arena-filling headline shows and unforgettable slots at Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds, The Vaccines continue to be a vital band in the British rock canon.
