Carnavas is Silversun Pickups' first full-length studio album. It was released on July 26, 2006. The title is an homage to Aubert's Greek heritage. Some suppliers were also given copies of The Tripwire Session: Live In Chicago, a four track EP.
As of the Billboard 200 dated June 30, 2007, it has sold 183,864 copies.
The album generated two successful singles on the US Modern Rock chart. Lazy Eye hit #5 and Well Thought Out Twinkles hit #9, the first one in 2007 and the following peaked at #9 in 2008.
The song Well Thought Out Twinkles is part of the soundtrack of skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. Similarly, Lazy Eye will be a playable song in Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour.
The CD cover for Carnavas is a slightly edited partial image of artist Darren Waterston's 2004 painting entitled "Summit". The inlay, also featured on the Silversun Pickups' website and Myspace page, is titled "Becoming Tree".
