Crystal Castles Appreciation #1 Canadian, 8bit bleep blip band, pretentious hipstrs, plagiarists, rude etc..
"ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy glitches bruising drum bombast that pierces your skull with their sheer shrill force, burrowing deep into the brain like a fever" "neon-lit nausea heaven." "Every song is serrated with pixel edges, and Alice Glass' sometimes morose, sometimes lilting like a Valley girl vocals vibrate with such catchy and violent gloom that it'd send any human/marmoset/sentient being into an epileptic dance session." crystalcastlesgifs CRYSTAL CASTLES formed in 2003 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada are known for their melancholic lo-fi sound and their explosive live shows. Initially the band was a solo project started by Ethan Kath in December 2003. Ethan later discovered Alice Glass singing in a noise-punk band, and thought he had found the missing ingredient to his music. In 2004 Ethan gave Alice 60 instrumental tracks and in April 2005 she recorded vocals over five instrumentals. The band’s first single Alice Practice was actually a microphone test by Glass. In 18 March 2008 they released their debut album entitled Crystal Castles. In 23 April 2010 the duo released their second album Crystal Castles (II). Ethan-Deth-Catheter-Kath - Instruments, Production Alice Glass - vocals, lyrics.

the first time i heard TMWTS i couldn't believe i'd never listened to it before. it'd just been sitting on my ipod for ages, then i listened to it and i was all now it's one of my fav songs ever. the lyrics are kinda dodgy though, i think they might be about child abuse... also she ran away from home at a young age so that would sort of make sense. but who knows. they could mean something completely different.

I love both sides of Crystal Castles and yes it is definitely about child abuse has to be, I dunno what it is about them both they really don't give a **** about much but they're so interesting as people. I find though the fact that they hate doing interviews makes them look arrogant but they're genuinely nice people, I'veh eard Ethan's really laid back and nice and Alice Celestica is an amazing vid too but I can never get how they got the kids to be in it? Like I doubt you'd hear Ethan and Alice be like we want kids playing violins in our vid Alice gif "You touch my ****, I kick you in the ******ing head. Bitch!" I love her __________________

i completely agree with what you said about their music. they're so so talented. each of their songs has something different to offer and they're just plain brilliant songwriters. anyone who overlooks them as pretentious hipsters are mostly people who either don't know much about music or haven't given theirs a proper chance, and are just judging them based on their style. i don't think they're arrogant at all. i think it's fair enough that they don't want to do that many interviews. i doubt it's all that relaxing having a camera and mic shoved in your face. most people just do interviews for the publicity anyway. so yeah i think it's fair enough that they only choose to do interviews they feel comfortable with.

I like how they do DJ sets and remixes as well this remix is goo once it gets into it only Alice can make crutches look good lol I love that gig where the security man wouldn't let Alice break a drum so she licked her hand and wiped it on his back. __________________
