Listen: Cymbals' "Winter '98"
22 December 2013

List All News - Back
Cymbals have recently shared the opening track from their new album "The Age Of Fracture". Available to stream now via Tough Love Records' Soundcloud page, "Winter '98" was praised by The Guardian who highlighted the track's "unfurling delicacy, with a chilly electronic waft of synths buffeting chiming guitars that weave in and out of pillow-soft beats in the song's final third."

A few chords of 'Winter 98' were first head closing the short film with which Cymbals first announced "The Age Of Fracture". The film, in keeping with the literary inspiration running through the album, was centred around an original poem from British poet and novelist Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine.

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.
