Cymbals Eat Guitars
 

Yep, American Indie, predictable no? Except these guys have more imagination in their left testicle than most other bands of a similiar ilk show throughout their entire careers. I am of course basing my judgement purely upon one album, Why There Are Mountains, released this year. Its quite a snazzy effort, eschewing conventional song structures in favour of, at times ecstatic, at other times melancholic soundscapes.

Cymbals Eat Guitars are such a great new indie band.

They're so accessible, but unique at the same time. And the Hazy Sea is truly epic!

Why no replies? I dont understand it, you people are seriously missing out on this album. Message if you want an up

Send it this way holmez, I'll give it a whirl.

Same here. Just saw the thread and definitly interested.

Love this band, another great song you forgot to mention (and a really mellow one from the album) is What Dogs See

Yeah they pretty much have nearly every song from the album on youtube as far as i've seen, but i limited my vids to 3. There isnt a bad song on the album.

I just checked out the YT videos and i'm not sure. I cant tell though if its maybe the quality of the audio on the video's. Im currently listening to it on Spotify to see if i like it or not.

been digging it since the debut. great opener. sometimes I feel like this album should have been made in the 70s and that's a compliment

It was definitely the YouTube quality that was lacking, they sounded much better when i listened to the album properly. I'm still not sure what to make of it overall but i certainly didnt hate it and i enjoyed it. I was digging some of the records more aggressive moments.
