CYMBALS
The long-awaited new album from CYMBALS is named after a book by Princeton academic, Daniel T. Rodgers, which addresses the fragmentation of ideas towards the end of the last century and how collective meanings have become uncertain. Singer and guitarist Jack Cleverly writes: "It hit me that I often feel paralysed by the feeling that everything is 'too complicated', and that many people I know feel that paralysis. I realised that this way of thinking can be traced through these songs."
Produced by Dreamtrak (Swim Deep, Chad Valley, Hot Chip) in his Hackney studio and written collectively over the last 12-months, the group have taken their time to carefully piece the album together, song-by-song, in sequence. The album was completed following a final mix from Daniel Rejmer (Foals, Everything Everything) and the result is testament to the band's attention to detail: a cleaner, brighter sound than their brattier early recordings, edging towards the European sophistication of the end-of-the-century French house Jack grew up around. Singles 'Like An Animal', 'The End' and 'The Natural World' are characterized by an upbeat disco cool and all push the 7-minute mark, whereas 'Winter 98', 'This City', and 'Call Me' are brooding, stark synth-led numbers reminiscent of early-New Order, with some lyrics sung in Jack's native French.
Astronauts, etc.
"Berkeley’s Anthony Ferraro's solo project, Astronauts, etc. was on a temporary hiatus. Luckily for us, the hiatus didn’t last long. Ferraro released a handful of tracks over the past month, including covers of Youth Lagoon and KING on his SoundCloud page. His most recent single, “Sideswiped”, came along with yet another outstanding space themed video from Ben Smith, who also created all three previous Astronauts, etc. videos. Ferraro’s strength as a composer really shines through on the “Sideswiped” – an instrumental version of the track could easily stand out on its own. Ferraro will also play a couple of Astronauts, etc. shows in March with members of Ash Reiter and Bells Atlas forming his backing band." -- Bay Bridged.
