From appearing on Skins to Timbaland pinching their ideas, Crystal Castles are certainly in keeping with the spirit of the times. This enigmatic Toronto duo’s debut is so contemporary that if it got released 2012 it would still be fresh. Not necessarily that encouraging because you can be fresh and new but if you’re not exciting then it means sweet FA. Lucky Crystal Castles are pretty exciting then. Ethan Kath is a talented multi-instrumentalist and Alice Glass is the Karen O of the future and it’s not just her haircut that makes me say that. Just listen to tracks such as “Alice Practice” where her captivating screams travel amongst distorted electronic collisions or the ultra modern “Courtship Dating” (the song that Timbaland ripped off for “Ayo Technology”). Invigorating electro beats pulsate through this record but it’s Alice Glass’ enthralling set of vocal styles that make it more than just a satisfying electronic experience.
