Cymbals fire another impeccably tailored dose of Shibuya-kei sophistication with the newly uploaded music video for Situation Vacant.

The new MV feels like discovering a forgotten boutique guitar pedal hidden between vintage vinyl sleeves, proof that great arrangements never go out of tune, only gain more harmonic overtones.
