As of their second album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music. "In Silico" is Pendulum's first album for Warner Bros. Records via the bands Ear Storm imprint.
Their track "Vault" was played by almost every DJ and was declared by annual Knowledge Drum’n’bass Awards as The Best Track of the Year. They have also created many remixes, including a remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy.
The band's third album "Immersion" was released on 24th May 2010, entering the UK album charts at #1 at the end of that week.
In 2011, members Swire and McGrillen started their side project, Knife Party, as a way to create different kinds of electronic music. It has since become their primary focus, however they have not ruled out the possibility of new Pendulum material in the future.

Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
between us now
We're closer than we've ever been before
I'm feeling like it's alright
I'm feeling like there's hope in our lives
The first line of these lyrics seems to indicate a sense of unity and connection, as if the singer and their audience are both on the same page emotionally. They are "tearing down the wall," perhaps referring to any number of societal or personal barriers that might prevent people from really understanding one another. The second line continues this idea, suggesting that the connection between the singer and their audience is stronger now than it has ever been before. They are closer to one another.
The third line, "I'm feeling like it's alright," suggests that this newfound closeness is a good thing. The singer is feeling more positive and hopeful about things. This positivity is reinforced in the fourth line, which speaks directly to the idea of hope. In this case, it seems like the hope is for some kind of shared future, whether that's personal or societal in nature.
Overall, these lyrics are trying to create a sense of unity and positivity. They highlight the idea that when people tear down walls, come together, and forge connections, good things can happen.
