The band will be on hand to signcopies of the new EP and will take part in a special intimate acoustic
performance.
Idle Hands is located in the East Village on 25
Avenue B, between 2nd and 3rd streets. There will be plenty of drink
specials, including the $10 Tasting Night with Sierra Nevada.
On "Carbon-Based Anatomy", CYNIC has once again taken its natural interfusion of musical styles and
turned it into something truly singular. The EP is equal parts KING CRIMSON, TOOL, MUSE and ALLAN HOLDSWORTH. It's a 23-minute transcendent musical journey through the fertile musical minds of guitarist Paul Masvidal and progressive drumming icon Sean Reinert.
Beginning with its much-venerated 1993 debut release "Focus", CYNIC has long been famous for pushing musical boundaries. Now in 2011, CYNIC has redefined itself once again with a six-song EP that combines
diverse influences from '70s prog rock to cutting-edge metal, tribal
folk and futuristic alien shapes and sounds. All of these diverse
elements have been harnessed and carefully shaped by mixer John Hiler into what is unquestionably the most open and expansive-sounding release of CYNIC's career. "Carbon-Based Anatomy" is retro, yet at the same time is unapologetically modern. It is
respectful of the groundbreaking artists that have made musical
evolution possible yet refuses to be stifled by that reverence. It is
wholly appreciative of past musical landmarks but is unashamedly
forward- thinking.
