RIYL: Hot Chip, Wild Beasts, Still Corners, Wild Nothing, Chromatics, Metronomy "Guitar-flecked electro at its most hypnotic and sublime" - The Sunday Times // "Unfettered adrenalin rush" - MOJO (4/5) Light in Your Mind is the first new material from CYMBALS in two years, and their first album since January 2014.

If the wait seems long for the listener, for those involved in its creation the time in between pulls in a lifetime of unexpected experiences.

That Light In Your Mind even exists is a testament to not giving in. That it sounds the way it does is both remarkable and, somehow, inevitable.

At various points over the last six years and across three albums, an EP and single, a rotating cast of at least ten other people have formed some version of CYMBALS.

More still have contributed to Light In Your Mind. Producer Kristian Robinson (Capitol K) is a major presence across the album and played a key role in guiding the transition from the band's sound on their previous record to this one.

Jorge Elbrecht, whose work with Ariel Pink and Tamaryn had inspired the band, mixed the record in Miami, adding those elusive final touches that make a good sounding record great.

Consequently, the music itself possesses a sedimentary quality, a residue of each contributing member compressed into what it is that band have become.
