Cymbals eating Guitars? Outrageous!

Paul and I caught these guys last year at the Brixton Windmill after becoming enamoured with last year's album Why There Are Mountains and whilst they still had some issues to iron out (the constant tuning of instruments between songs destroyed any atmosphere their admittedly good set could have generated), their incessant touring (coming over to the UK 3 times last year no less) marks them as an exciting band to watch. Cymbals Eat Guitars, a 4-piece from Staten Island U.S., are about to release an E.P., Wind Phoenix, and this track is featured on it. Eat it, and enjoy the feast!

This a Elliot Smith cover! Is the rest of the album ES covers?

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
