CYMBALS - Austin Town Hall

Killer Track From CYMBALS

May 4, 2017 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

In the usual melange of trolling for tracks, it’s rare that you click play on a new song and know instantly that you’ve found a real gem. “Decay,”from CYMBALS, is the perfect blend of shoe gaze and dance pop– think Slowdive meets The Radio Dept with a splash of The XX thrown in there. You get the building percussion throughout, but also some string work threaded in, as well as the omnipresent effervescent synths that spiral and transform kaleidoscopically. Plus you get some twangy and distant guitar to put the icing on the cake. Simply put, this track is at once beautiful and danceable and makes me beyond excited to hear what CYMBALS have in store for us on their upcoming record, Light In Your Mind, which will be out August 25th via Tough Love Records. Pre-order it here.

CYMBALS Bring Their A Game

November 6, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s difficult in this day and age to have your hair blown back by anything, especially upon first listen, but I have to give credit to CYMBALS. Their music on the latest single was immediately accessible, yet wholly interesting. A deep vibe comes from the darkened corners of their music, yet a softer touch on the vocals provides listeners with the mentality of club two-stepping. I imagine this song could be played pretty much anywhere, enticing anyone to tap their feet. The group will release Age of Fracture in February of next year via Tough Love Records.
