One of my
favorite bands is “Crystal Castles”. They are a Canadian experimental
electronic duo formed by Ethan Kath (producer) and Alice Glass (vocalist)
Ethan met
Alice in Toronto when she was 15, then Ethan discovered a soundcheck recording
named “Alice Practice”, and he uploaded to the web under the name of the band “Crystal
Castles”. That was the first song and it’s in the first album named “Crystal
Castles I”.
Then in
2010, they released “Crystal Castles II”, and in 2012 they released “(III)”. On
the last album we can see a change in the sound of the band, as well as in the
lyrics of the songs. For me, so far, is the best album.
I love
“Crystal Castles” because it’s a band that's out of this world. All they do is
something new and crazy, and also at concerts, they try to give to their public
the best of the shows and to stay close to the people that listen to them.
I don’t
know which is my favorite song because they all have something special about
them, and each one makes me feel differently when I hear them. But I really
like “Insulin”, “Plague, “Sad eyes”, “Celestica”, “Lovers who uncover”, “Not in
love” and “Affection”.
Now, I add
the video of “Celestica” and the lyrics, just in case you want to know more about the song J.
PS: I saw them live at Lollapalooza 2013!

As we fall into sequence
and we're eating our young
remain silent and still for modesty
When the splints have been broken
and they can't help you now
Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally?
Follow me into nowhere
Woven with the utmost care.
If I'm lost please don't find me
If I jump let me sink
We descended from no one
with a wink.
When it's cold outside hold me, don't hold me.
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me, don't coax me.
When it's cold outside hold me, don't hold me.
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me, don't coax me.
Follow me into nowhere
Woven with the utmost care
Have they cleansed you with chloride
and scrubbed behind the knees?
Has your body been hollowed by the breeze?
