CYMBALS announce new album Light In Your Mind and share lead single "Decay"
London twosome CYMBALS have announced new record Light In Your Mind and shared lead single "Decay".
Jack Cleverly and Dan Simons are following up their 2014 debut The Age Of Fracture.
"At the time I wrote this, everything was changing in my life, and I was changing inside, and I started to look at the slow process of decay that is part of life," explains Cleverly. "I was reading The Enigma Of Arrival by VS Naipaul, which talks about the decay of an English estate, on which the writer lives. The estate used to have 16 gardeners, now it has one, part time. Naipaul describes the growth of ivy on the estate, that the reclusive landlord (the last member of his family), encourages, even though it pulls down walls and old trees, changing the landscape of the estate gradually, and letting it drift into a picturesque form of ruin. At one point he compares the landscape to his hometown in Trinidad, to the makeshift corrugated roofs there, and draws a parallel with the way he too sees beauty in a landscape that is slowly falling apart."
The record features contributions from Justin Goings, Josh Hefferman, Alabaster DePlume, and producer Kristian Robinson (Capitol K).
