crystal castles – iii – affection

the canadian duo are slated to release their third album next month. another diddy from the forthcoming album has been offered up to the masses as a preview and “affection” deserves such. it’s dreamy and promotes their softer side, which is quite affable indeed. www.crystalcastles.com

song of the day

crystal castles (featuring robert smith) – not in love

i could not be a happier bloke with the re-release of crystal castles’ “not in love”. the original is on their latest sophmore album, which i have loved immensely and will love until their next one comes out. on this new version, they got sir robert smith to sing the lead vocals. oh yeah, you read that right. this version will come out as a single next month. it’s an oh my god kind of song, which means, it’s really frackin good. this is definitely a treat and one hell of a way to start off the month. www.myspace.com/crystalcastles

artist of the month

crystal castles

i have been listening to their new album all month and it’s ridiculous and getting even more ridiculous as i’m wearing out my speakers with it. this album could have been a failure with all the concert canceling, madonna t-shirt controversy, and what nots. there was real concern of it being a hot mess. but fuck that. it’s a bloody brilliant noisy fuck you, i’m awesome, kind of album. i heart you crystal castles.
