Don't really care for ^that^, but can't wait to hear the song

Pitchfork article:

Glitch-punk duo Crystal Castles are primed to release their second album on June 7 in Europe and June 8 in North America via Fiction. The record is called Crystal Castles-- just like the first one. Not confusing at all. That goth-y photo of a kid standing in a graveyard is the cover.

Producer Ethan Kath and screamer Alice Glass recorded the album in such locales as an Icelandic church, a Canadian cabin, and a Detroit garage, according to a press release. It's preceded by a Record Store Day single headlined by album cut "Doe Deer"-- a limited, 500-run 12" available April 17 via Fiction/Lies. The first official single from Crystal Castles' sophomore album is called "Celestica". Gaze upon a list of new song titles, including a mysterious number called "Pap Smear", below.


Crystal Castles:
01 Fainting Spells
02 Celestica
03 Doe Deer
04 Baptism
05 Year of Silence
06 Empathy
07 Suffocation
08 Violent Dreams
09 Vietnam
10 Birds
11 Pap Smear
12 Not in Love
13 Intimate
14 I Am Made of Chalk

i LOVE their second album. it's brilliant. can't wait to see them live soon!

 

[Squizree]

Woo! They have a thread! Has anyone heard Love & Caring? It's seriously dangerous.

 

[mousyy]

as a huge fan of course i've heard Love & Caring. great song, of course!

 

[Baxxxton]

Love And Caring is THE song guys. Deffo the best thing CC have ever done.

As a fan since the first hour of CC somehow it pains me that they are getting pretty hyped now. For me CC is the typical undergroundband born to play small venues and born for Alice's known close contact to ppl. Except of Baptism who is an live-classic and Intimate I prefer the first album to be honest. I also think they should have recorded Yes/No.

Celestica Official Video It's beautiful, Alice is looking amazing.


And in some interview with Ethan, he said that they are recording YES NO

 

[Baxxxton]

as far as I know it is already recorded and they will release it on the "Baptism" single

 

[mousyy]

That's even better! Thanks Roman
