Cymbals Eat Guitars’ lead singer Joseph D’Agostino reveals his rock ’n’ roll heart on the Staten Island indie quartet’s third album, 2014’s Lose. Written in memory of his friend and musical collaborator Benjamin High, Lose also confronts the loss of one’s youth and one’s ability to believe that a single album can change the world. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the band from trying. And just as The Gaslight Anthem or The Hold Steady grab ahold of their guitars and aim for reviving the masses, Cymbals Eat Guitars have found their own distinct voice for rallying the troops.
New Album Pretty Years Out Now via Sinderlyn Records.
19, Staten Island indie rockers Cymbals Eat Guitars will release LOSE, their third album, via Barsuk Records. It’s a marked transition away from the more intricate sound of second album Lenses Alien, and into a more abrasive and forceful punk-inspired sound. At the Drive-In and Titus Andronicus are being tossed around as comparisons to LOSE, which certainly captures our attention. Not that you have to trust word-of-mouth alone - you can now stream the full album a week before it’s released, courtesy of NPR First Listen. Listen to the Cymbals Eat Guitars LOSE stream here.
In under 45 minutes Cymbals Eat Guitars have solidified a sound born on a self-released album just five years ago. Emotional, angry, dreamy, atmospheric, and spatial are just a few words that describe Lose. Much has been discussed regarding the death of a childhood friend and the affect it had on D'agostino and how it shaped the songs on Lose. I won't discuss that aspect of the songs because I think it's insignificant in looking at the album. If you were ever on the fence about Cymbals Eat Guitars, Lose will be the album to kick your posterior right into their line of sight. It's a compact masterpiece that only gets better with each listen. One of the best of the year.

Staten Island indie quartet Cymbals Eat Guitars first made waves with their 2009 self-released debut, Why There Are Mountains.
