Crystal Castles: <em>Crystal Castles</em>

Crystal Castles’ second offering trades pleasureful pain for painful pleasure Crystal Castles self-titled debut LP was an album that would send fans of “serious music” for the hills, chased by a barrage of screeching Atari noise, uneven beat explosions and vocalist Alice Glass’ unearthly and oft-horrifying lupine scream.

Oh, nevermind...) duo had another full-length up their flannel sleeves, to be preceded by Losing Feeling, an EP available on 12" vinyl and as a digital download on Oct. 6. That's right, it's exclusively old-school or new-school for the impending Sub Pop release. ...  read more
