RELEASE NOTES
Crystal Castles' self-titled debut helped take
8-bit synth tones into the mainstream. That
jagged, strangely na?ve sound of old-school video
games is so distinctive that it could easily
define the duos music instead of vice versa,
but Ethan Kath and Alice Glass avoid that trap on
their second, also self-titled album. Glass and
Kath are still committed to the 8-bit assaults of
their early singles and debut -- check the
bookending blasts Fainting Spells and I Am
Made of Chalk for proof -- but Crystal Castles
covers more territory than that. The duo finds
different ways to mix icy synth pop with
white-hot noise, as well as present them in an
ever so slightly more polished form. Two of the
albums singles show just how Crystal Castles'
sound has evolved: Doe Deer is even harsher,
more thoroughly spindled and mutilated than
Alice Practice, yet the melody shines through
underneath all the pixelated distortion;
Celestica, meanwhile, puts the focus on
Glass' decidedly clear, melancholy vocals and the
four-on-the-floor beat. Though 8-bit synths
arent as prominent here as they were on the
bands earlier work, Crystal Castles still love
repurposing seemingly obsolete and unfashionable
sounds: Baptism's brassy blasts hark back to
at least the early 90s. Despite tangents like
Birds, Crystal Castles overall has a much
darker and cleaner sound than its predecessor,
expanding on the softer, more esoteric territory
the band ventured into on the debuts second
half. Vietnam and Pap Smear pair
controversial titles with unabashedly pretty and
brooding songs. If anything, this album shows
that Crystal Castles are a pop band at heart,
albeit an extremely warped one, and their sonic
tricks work best when harnessed to
honest-to-goodness songs. Empathy adds
R&B-tinged beats to Glass far-off singing,
while Suffocation and Not in Love still
sparkle like pristine synth pop should, even if
they sound like theyve been put through a
shredder. The second Crystal Castles may not be
as immediate as their debut, but it shows that
the band has more to offer than just a
distinctive -- and confining -- sound.
QUOTES
When I examine myself and my methods of thought I
come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy
has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing
positive knowledge.
