Today's Quick Mention: There's nothing
show-wise that I'd be willing to leave the house for
tonight, so my recommendation to you is to just stay
inside. That's right, no going anywhere.
Just sit at home and soak up the last few weeks of
your Netflix subscription before it jumps up in
price.
I've been waiting and waiting for Cymbals Eat
Guitars to release a single for their upcoming
sophomore effort, and it finally happened.
Rejoice! And then immediately download and
treasure the track below. A couple of months
back the band signed to Barsuk, so that's the label
that will release Lenses Alien on August 30.
Enjoy.

Eat Guitars - Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name):
There are plenty of "long" songs on their last effort,
Why There Are Mountains, so this being eight and half
minutes isn't necessarily a surprise. With that being
said, it is a bold choice to serve up as the first taste off
the new album. Sure, I adore this track and all of its
sonic shifts, but will newcomers get it? I hope so,
because the band is great and deserving of a bigger
audience.
