“Since forming in the summer of 2004, Crystal Castles, the Toronto-based duo of Ethan Fawn and Alice Glass have amassed a cult following through their uncompromising and intense delivery, a slew of limited edition singles, and shows packed solely from word of mouth. Their 7” singles have sold out almost instantly, they have toured extensively in the UK, Europe, and North America with artists such as the Klaxons and Metric, and remixed songs for Bloc Party and the Klaxons, among others.

Crystal Castles - ‘Things get out of control’

They annoyed Madonna. Glastonbury pulled the plug on them. The police arrested their singer at a gig. No surprise, then, that Crystal Castles won’t show their faces. The Canadian duo talk to Gavin Cumine
Crystal Castles are the Canadian duo, Ethan Kath and Alice Grass. Their nightmarish cyborg punk, encapsulating noise and warped melodies have captured the hearts of club kids around the world.
Their self-titled debut album is filled with futuristic electro noises, holding moods and sensations that leave the listener spellbound but are sketchy on autobiographical detail. Crystal Castles are wreathed in mystery; they have given only a handful of interviews and agreed to few photoshoots – even fewer where they reveal their faces. Read more

Crimewave Video Explained
Many of you may have been wondering about the Crimewave Video, from the mouth of Ethan Kath, to NME’s Alex Miller:
“The last thing we wanted to do was make a video for Crimewave. Our label kept bothering us and everyone we know for a video. They were going to make a video themselves and then send us the bill! To stop this from happening we decided to put together a fake video. The label doesn’t know that we simply stole footage from a hardcore gay porn film by a legendary art movie director. We had a friend take all the non-sex scenes from Bruce LaBruce’s “Otto” and cut it to the track. The label fell for it. They thought we had gone out and filmed a video of a boy wandering around. We didn’t get charged for the video the label were going to pay someone to make, which we would have rejected anyways.”
