I’m always surprised when I see the name of an artist that’s completely unfamiliar to me and then discover they’ve been recording for a decade. Such is the case with Cymbals Eat Guitars, an indie rock outfit hailing from Staten Island. The band formed in 2007 and have released four albums, including this year’s Pretty Years.
Entertainment Weekly has this to say about their latest single, ‘Finally’:
If Springsteen were making music in an East Williamsburg flophouse, it might sound a lot like this wonderfully noisy stoner-rock anthem from the Staten Island-bred indie stalwarts.
I hear more Jane’s Addiction (a comparison offered up by a YouTube commenter) than Bruce Springsteen, but it has its appeal.
Full of holes
I’m an instrument
If this is infinite
The center is everything
Dilated and smiling
See lives from the outside
Look up
Snow is falling again
A pretty painted house
In a shitty part of town
You settle down
Used to light up a room
Then again maybe that ain’t true
Wanna light up the night
Refineries and Christmas lights
My love is a mantra
When I speak it, it weakens
I’ll just squeeze your hand three times
If it’s infinite repeats
I’ll take the blizzard of ’16
I’m ready now
Try to take it all with me
But we forget finally
Meet Me In Montauk 
A little too heavy for 6am, and probably for the rest of my day as well.š
