Album Review: Cymbals Eat Guitars "LOSE"

•••

On their LP no.3 New York-based Cymbals Eat Guitars present nine unwieldy song-shapes, ranging from fast and breezy punk to dramatic, overlong experiments in sound.

The Noises We Make When No One Is Around

•••

As most likely the most terrifying piece of musical work created, The Noises We Make When No One Is Around oozes deathly echoes, voices screeching in agony as tormented banshees trapped in an intangible existence.

•••

Folk crooner Sean Hayes hums smooth soul with uncomplicated, yet consequential lyrics. He speaks truth in waves with abysmal grooves; loose funk with vintage rasp. With an inimitable voice, as heard in Subaru’s commercial with heavy hitter “Powerful Stuff,” Hayes presents maven compositions, but with an awfully connected, exceedingly genuine touch. He presen[...]
