The entire time since this Christmas when I was gifted the first self-titled Crystal Castles CD, I have done nothing except appreciate Crystal Castles more and more and more. I now have both albums (both are self-titled) and both kick ass. Then there are the remixes. Most are easy enough to download, and or youtube. This band is seriously incredible. Why are you not listening to them right now?? (Kudos if you are)

#20 - Crystal Castles - Untrust Us
The cocaine is not good for you
However Crystal Castles (CC), and the first song on the Crystal Castles CD, Untrust Us, are good for you. I recommend the self-titled CC debut to anyone who likes intense rock and/or hardcore dance and/or lightweight techno. While the drums-and-synth are both skillful and at times minimalistic, the singing of female vocalist Alice Glass can be either pleasing or shrieking, and the song lyrics are at times long and short, the CD earns 5 of 5 stars for a fluid, dynamic, and extremely addictive performance.
Ethan Kath (supposedly the last name is fake, and designed to bring catheters to mind) is the man behind the dj stand, making all the beats. This duo is stellar.
