CD Review: Cymbals Eat Guitars - Wind Phoenix
'Wind Phoenix' is the third single to be lifted off Cymbals Eat Guitars' 'Why There Are Mountains' album, and it perfectly navigates the potentially dangerous ground where 'dreamy' meets 'dreary.' 90% of this alt-pop number consists of blurry vocals wafting across an insubstantial backdrop of eerie, wind-like synths and haunting chimes.

This is good strong stuff and you don't have to fear its somberness, or shy away from having the whole lot at once: there's enough grace, sinew and primeval mass here to deserve a chance of being the main thing in your brain for a half an hour, even if the opening title track looms out of the silence to establish a portentous presence, and having done so, rather slips away in a slow heartbeat rhythm and female vocal.
