Cymbals Eat Guitars, Hooray for Earth Played Music Hall of Williamsburg [photos]

Anyone fortunate enough to walk into the Music Hall of Williamsburg last Wednesday night certainly left without their socks — they had most definitely been rocked off. Those responsible for the laundry loss were Hooray for Earth (@hoorayforearth) and Cymbals Eat Guitars (@cymbls_eat_gtrs). Hooray for Earth’s sound, which frontman Noel Heroux described as somewhere between harsh noise and Enya, kicked off the evening. Their album True Loves , released this June, was featured heavily throughout the show.  And for good reason as their electronic-laced pop gems were nothing short of miraculously catchy.

Cymbals Eat Guitars, whose name is derived from a Lou Reed quote describing the sound of The Velvet Underground, closed the show with their form of caustic rock and keyboard led crescendoes. With an aboslutely stellar set, complete with samplings from Why There Are Mountians and their newest release Lens Alien, Cymbals Eat Guitars clearly represented their talents as musicians, and I can’t wait to see them again.
