On this second LP of theirs everything seems larger, their feral energy placed onto a spacious canvas that allows considerable breathing space.
Cymbals Eat Guitars have succeeded in creating one of the year’s most surprisingly transcendental sophomore albums.
Lenses Alien is a thick, abundantly ornate listen that overawes as much as it enthralls.
This is a really banging collection by a poet honing his craft, still experimenting and learning and having fun.
Lenses Alien certainly isn't intended to be strip-mined for singles, it's meant to be experienced on a remarkably micro level.
