Cymbals have shared their first new song since the announcement of their new album, "The Age Of Fracture". "Erosion" is now available to stream via the band's Tough Love Records Soundcloud page, ahead of the album's release on 27th January.

The long-awaited new album from Cymbals is named after a book by Princeton academic, Daniel T. Rodgers, which addresses the fragmentation of ideas towards the end of the last century and how collective meanings have become uncertain. Singer and guitarist Jack Cleverly writes: "It hit me that I often feel paralysed by the feeling that everything is 'too complicated', and that many people I know feel that paralysis. I realised that this way of thinking can be traced through these songs."

Produced by Dreamtrak in his Hackney studio and written collectively over the last twelve months, the group have taken their time to carefully piece the album together, song-by-song, in sequence. The album was completed following a final mix from Daniel Rejmer and the result is testament to the band's attention to detail: a cleaner, brighter sound than their brattier early recordings, edging towards the European sophistication of the end-of-the-century French house Jack grew up around.
