Cymbals Eat Guitars @ Chicago, Il.
April , 2010

Cymbals Eat Guitars crashed into the music scene last year with their self released debut, Why There Are Mountains. The album became an instant favorite by many, drawing comparisons to early indie rock bands Modest Mouse, creating a musical journey with lush layers and an understanding beyond their years. They arrived understandably exhausted, as the Long Island quartet has been touring non stop since their emergence at Pitchfork last summer. I had the pleasure of meeting the guys at last year’s Monolith Festival at Red Rocks, making this session a more casual reunion as we discussed this tour and I photographed the guys enjoying their relaxation prior to their performance.
