As sobriety and structure sets back into my life post holidays i am returning to my musical millstone. Another familiar (and highly regarded) face who has returned to the musical scene are the thrashingly brilliant electronic dyad that is Crystal Castles. The talented production and execution brought to the table by Ethan Kath, along with the energy and overall presence of NME coolest person (2008) Alice Glass is what makes this Canadian duo so unique - and therefore so good. To those who have not yet heard of Crystal Castles then shame on you, however their style of music is not for all and is best described as the black jelly bean of electro music that is addictive because of its edgy nature. Credit aside CC are back with their new EP - 'Celestica'. Below you can catch the title track. I do plan to be posting more frequently and although i do say it a lot i will try my best (as will The Peeler). And if you are bored and sick of staring at the Splendour In The Grass lineup you cannot afford then check out the UK lineups in which Crystal Castles are a feature of Leeds, Reading & Glastonbury.
