In music , interruption ups are the operose part . Every year band part way but some can be vitriolic pill to bury . LCD Soundsystem in 2011 was a tough one . The Silver Jews in 2009 ? Do n’t cue me . Now , Crystal Castlescalled it take leave this hebdomad , and that ’s a material shame .
I am allow Crystal Castles .

An ex - girlfriend introduce me to Crystal Castles in 2012 , right before the duet , Ethan Kath and Alice Glass , relinquish their third and last albumCrystal Castles III . I ’m not on the button sure what originally made me like them so much . Maybe it was how their name was a character reference to Masters of the Universe or how it cue me of amost excellent arcade secret plan . Experimental electronic music certainly was n’t my thing before , but somehow Crystal Castles was different .
I ’ve played track like “ Crimewave , ” “ Untrust Us , ” “ Suffocation , ” and “ Not In Love ” on endless loop on several social occasion . The ring had a way of being playful , catchy , celestial , and cool down all in one , which is what made their albums so great . I even bought ticket to see them at a show five hours away in Lawrence , Kan. , but a shipping mishap postponed the show indefinitely . Now not seeing that show hurts in the bad of ways .
fortuitously , we still have three bully album that will endure well beyond the stria ’s decade long lifespan as well as future work from Kath and Glass , and that will have to be enough . [ Spotify ]
