Scissors cut paper and Cymbals Eat Guitars.
I’m hearing comparisons to Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Pavement…I don’t know. I think they have a sound all of their own, with some definite influences. I think future material will end up convincing music snobs to give them more of a chance. Although, MTV is not where I would turn for information on the best new bands and to me that is actually a turn off. MTV might have been great when I was 15, but now I hardly ever turn it on. (Sorry MTV).
Truth be told I think any band who includes electric synthesizing or vamped up instrumentation is going to be compared. There’s really no escaping that, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love it. If anything, bands like MGMT and Modest Mouse get me pumped up the most and I am inclined to begin including Cymbals Eat Guitars into that set in my mind.
