Cymbals Eat Guitars will satisfy
A good reason to get to Pitchfork fest’s second day early this year: Cymbals Eat Guitars. The New York band often gets compared to Built to Spill and Modest Mouse, but I think it holds its own with an original sound. The songs have a lot of peaks and valleys that go from atmospheric layers to melodic to explosive (not always in that order). The band is touring its self-released album, “Why There Are Mountains.”
This video was shot by a fan but cut short by venue staff. Bastards.
