Listen: Cymbals Eat Guitars Share ‘Jackson’ From New Album ‘LOSE’

have returned with their first new material since 2011 album ‘Lenses Alien’. The Staten Island, New York group will release ‘LOSE’ via Barsuk Records on 26th August.

The album’s headed up by ‘Jackson’, a triumphant but bittersweet track that relates to the album’s title in being about the loss of both a friends and a sense of excitement about music.

Joseph D’Agostino had this to say about the record - it’s a pretty poignant description:

”LOSE’ is a very apropos title because it refers not only to losing Ben, but also it’s about a sort of nostalgia, a longing for a time when music meant everything to you and your friends, and it seemed like one great rock record could change everyone’s life the way it changed yours. It’s about being in mourning for your long-held belief that music could literally change the world. That’s the contradiction at the heart of LOSE… You’re disillusioned, but somehow you can do nothing else but rail against that feeling mightily and try, once again, to make a record that makes you and everyone else ‘wake up wanting to listen to records.’
