A limited edition 7" (200 only) entitled "What Eternity", featuring two new songs - "Talk To Me" and "Innocence". Both songs were produced by Dreamtrak and mixed by Dan Rejmer. As such, they might well be CYMBALS' best songs to date. As singer Jack, says: "These songs are close to what I am feeling during this current moment, in other words this season, or the stretch of time from spring to autumn this year. They are a little more personal and introspective, which is some kind of difference for us. We don't want to explain them too much, given that so many words accompanied the album we wrote last year and released earlier this year - these songs have no notes with them, no explanations, no justifications. The only thing we should say is that the title is borrowed from a book by Marguerite Yourcenar, who herself borrowed it from a poem. We've messed with the punctuation and in so doing changed the meaning to suit what we wanted to say." Record Label: Tough Love Style: Independent

RIYL: Hot Chip, Wild Beasts, Still Corners, Wild Nothing, Chromatics, Metronomy "Guitar-flecked electro at its most hypnotic and sublime" - The Sunday Times // "Unfettered adrenalin rush" - MOJO (4/5) Light in Your Mind is the first new material from CYMBALS in two years, and their first album since January 2014. If the wait seems long for the listener, for those involved in its creation the time in between pulls in a lifetime of unexpected experiences. That Light In Your Mind even exists is a testament to not giving in. That it sounds the way it does is both remarkable and, somehow, inevitable. At various points over the last six years and across three albums, an EP and single, a rotating cast of at least ten other people have formed some version of CYMBALS. More still have contributed to Light In Your Mind. Producer Kristian Robinson (Capitol K) is a major presence across the album and played a key role in guiding the transition from the band's sound on their previous record to this one. Jorge Elbrecht, whose work with Ariel Pink and Tamaryn had inspired the band, mixed the record in Miami, adding those elusive final touches that make a good sounding record great. Consequently, the music itself possesses a sedimentary quality, a residue of each contributing member compressed into what it is that band have become.

Ltd 200 copies, coloured vinyl, screen printed plastic sleeves. Having released their second record Sideways, Sometimes in April of this year, CYMBALS return with new track "Like An Animal". Released as part of a four track 12" which features the title song, an instrumental version, and two remixes from Fort Romeau and Maria Minerva respectively, it's the first evidence of the band's pairing with producer Dreamtrak. Bold, brash and perhaps somewhat unexpected, "Like An Animal" is a 9-minute statement of intent that brings to life the band's often stated affinity with house music, while retaining the deft melodicism for which they've been recognised. More at home on the dancefloor than any of their previous releases, "Like An Animal" still remains refreshingly off kilter, the jacking beat embellished by a subtle violin part that few of their peers would think to include. As the music would suggest, CYMBALS have undergone an interesting series of changes since first emerging with their debut album in May 2011. Now a four piece (bassist Luke replaced founding member Sean earlier this year) with a rhythm section both rock solid and inventive, their previous nods to New Order and Yo La Tengo have now forged into a sound that is distinctively their own. They've developed as bands once did but rarely do now, and "Like An Animal" provides an intriguing hint as to where their next album will take them. Record Label: Tough Love Style: Independent
