I sent this band to Alex a while ago when the album was still just three promo songs. He didn’t get it then and I think that story hasn’t changed. For some reason I really like the group and the album grows on you nicely (a prime example of Hook, Line and Sinker). Crystal Castles is another offering from our neighbors to the north and features a duo of Ethan Kath (all the funky electronic shit) and Alice Glass (all the funky distorted vocal shit). Their sound is nothing ground breaking, typical hipster electronic. Heavy sampling from 16 bit video games and handmade mics. What sets them apart is that I actually like listening to them and the album isn’t too far out there. So put your weird vest away and throw you man-summer-scarf in the trash and snuggle up to some Crystal Castles.
