"Well Thought Out Twinkles" is a song by American rock band Silversun Pickups. The song was released as the third single from the band's debut album Carnavas, peaking at no. 9 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[2]
In his review of Carnavas, Carlos Grischow of IGN selected "Well Thought Out Twinkles" as a highlight, saying the song " has claws that make a valiant effort to rip a hole through your soul."[3] Rolling Stone favorably compared the song to the Smashing Pumpkins, highlighting the vocals of Brian Aubert and Nikki Monninger.[4] Pitchfork was more negative, calling the lyrics "wholly incomprehensible."[5]
The song's music video was directed by Philip Andelman.[6] The video, shot mostly in black and white, shows the band performing the song.
