Overview
It is near impossible to describe Crystal Castles. They really are in a category all of their own when it comes to musical style and sound – categorised as experimental electronic music, in reality though, this hardly encompasses everything you can hear. You might know them from their heavy rotation on Triple J, particularly Baptism, which has been flogged to the high heavens.
From their roots in Toronto, Ethan Kath and Alice Glass have since stormed the music scene, with their 2008 debut (self titled) listed in NME’s top 100 albums of the decade at number #39. Their second album built upon this success, reaching number one on electronic music charts and sending them off touring the globe, including Australia.
This week they're in town and will perform their widely talked about stage show. Recently Glass broke her ankle, but kept up the stage antics ala our own Patience Hodgson (despite the leg in a cast). Oh yes, this will be more than a gig, it will be an experience.
