Cymbals Eat Guitars bring the critically acclaimed sophomore album Lenses Alien (Memphis Industries), to our shores in January for a long awaited UK tour.
Evolving in sound and line-up from their 2009 debut, Cymbals Eat Guitars are a relentlessly complex listen on record and a compellingly visceral live band. Rising Brooklyn band Milagres will be joining them as support.
Tickets are on sale now for the four UK dates scheduled this January:

Released in September on UK label Memphis Industries, new album Lenses Alien is a stunning example of a band growing into itself - learning to collaborate, becoming more confident with themselves and each other.
Refinement and clarity of purpose came in no small part with the guidance of producer John Agnello, and together they set out to craft an album that re-contextualized the band's favoured sounds and highlighted underexplored strengths.
