Staten Island quartet Cymbals Eat Guitars came out of seemingly nowhere when, a little under a month ago, their debut album, Why There Are Mountains, was bestowed Pitchfork's "Best New Music" honor. Who were these guys? Staten Island, seriously? They were, of course, four hustling musicians who'd struck gold on the songwriting front, crafting a beastly, obtuse album that sounds a lot like Built To Spill, if Built To Spill actually had some youth on their side and could still throw down in a street fight or get upset over a girl. You can grab the record's first two songs below, and pick up the album on iTunes or Insound if you're as into them as we are. The band are playing on Thursday at Webster Hall in New York with The Walkmen and Beach House and on Sunday in Brooklyn at Public Assembly. Expect a turnout.

Sounds like: Built To Spill, The Wrens, The Press
