Crystal Castles

[chessmess]

They are an electroclash 8 bit duo from Toronto and they're absolutely amazing!!!! Their new album comes out on the 18th but it's already leaked if you are so inclined...

The lead singer just got in a car accident though, she broke some ribs they had to postpone some north american tour dates.

anyway here are some mp3s!

I love their somewhat obnoxious vocals... my two favorite songs have to be Air War and Alice Practice.

 

[lisandwich]

I can't listen to their music without thinking about Anna Karina now...

The new album is really good though. Untrust Us is my favorite.

I just saw them play about a week ago! They were very good. The crowd was eating it up. HEALTH opened but it was basically a double bill. I was looking forward to this gig for a while because I really dig the split 7"s and I've seen them on separate bills before. Here are two photos I took for LooseRecord.com:
More photos here.

seriousely great stuff, Crimewave is so great (but so is the original version too!!!)
Alice Practice too, their sound is chaotic, i'm digging it.

I lost my concert virginity to them. I have their debut album (especially "Courtship Dating") on constant rotation.

 

[PonyShow]

I attended their (and Metric's) September 21, 2007, concert at Webster Hall. Fantastic performance and memories.
