Cymbals Eat Guitars might win the contest this month for the band not named Pavement, but most inspired by Pavement. Pavement's one of my favorite bands, so while hesitant, I do appreciate the homage. Cymbals Eat Guitars have a new record Lenses Alien out on August 30th through Barsuk Records and they've released two singles for download on the internets. "Definite Darkness" is probably my favorite of the two. It's full of indie noodling, experimental loopiness and lush melodies. You can download it from Pitchfork here. If you're into the eight minute jam, you will probably like "Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)" and can download it here.
