Cymbals Eat Guitars have a new album the comes out on August 30th via the Barsuk label. The Lenses Alien LP has been described as combining “classic pop forms and ambient haze” into “dusky psychedelia.” Is that an apt description? You will have plenty of time to think about it as you listen to the 8-minute opening track.

Listen.

Downloadable: Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name) (mp3)

You can preorder Lenses Alien in various forms @ cymbalseatguitars.com.

Upcoming NYC Shows:
