Crystal Castles

The antisocial duo of Ethan Kath and Alice Glass have created an unexpected level of excitement and cult loyalty, clocking up a staggering 50 million plays on MySpace and Last.fm and headlining sold out tours around the world. Crystal Castles have sold over 200,000 copies of their uncompromising debut album, which NME included in their “50 Best Albums of the Decade.” The British music mag described their debut as “an enigmatic album of moods, tones and emotional confusion, rather than autobiographical specifics.” Their self-titled second record has already been garnering critical acclaim. Produced by Ethan Kath, tracks were recorded and written in contrasting environments around the world, including a church in Iceland, a self-built cabin in Ontario and a garage behind an abandoned convenience store in Detroit.
