Cymbals Eat Guitars and Field Mouse
3615 El Cajon Boulevard, San Diego, 92104
Age Limit: 21+
The Staten Island–based indie-rock quartet just dropped the John Congleton (War on Drugs, St. Vincent)–produced Pretty Years, a coming out for this always-rising band that gets its name from a Lou Reed quote: “Cymbals eat the sound of guitars.” Not on this disc, where guitars churn and burn and cut through everything but the rasp and wail of main man John D’Agostino. The anticipation surrounding Pretty Years (indie album of the year? If you’re into the ’Mats, Archers, and Springsteen, very probably) pays dividends from beginning to end, as will their show at Soda Bar on Wednesday.
