· Cymbals Eat Guitars are all set to release their second album ‘Lenses Alien’ on Memphis Industries, the follow up to the hugely acclaimed debut ‘Why There Are Mountains’.
· ‘Lenses Alien’ somehow manages to refract Janes Addiction-style pyrotechnics through a slacker rock prism, a distillation of a modern America beyond the boundaries of Brooklyn.
· Lyrically it’s an update on the New York of Roth and Bellow, whilst being musically inspired by the likes of Guided By Voices and Pavement.
· “Perfectly embodies that casually ambitious slackrock sound” - 8.4 Pitchfork Best New Music.
· “Veers cleverly between sprawling balladry and noisy rock… beneath the sonic layers there's plenty of emotional dexterity” - **** Guardian.
