Crystal Castles Confirm Third LP

Crystal Castles have confirmed via a press release that their third studio release is currently being recorded in Warsaw, Poland. The band are in the studio for the first time since releasing 2010’s critically acclaimed II, which managed to receive the John Peel Award for Innovation in Music at the 2011 NME Awards amongst other recognitions. This third album will be released this summer through Fiction Records.

The eclectic electronic duo also released a music video for “Suffocation” as well as a remix of that same song from HEALTH, which you can listen to below.

Although electronic duo Crystal Castles are busy planning to record a new album, it looks like they’re not completely done with their last one, and have released a “fashion video” for their song “Suffocation”. The video, which features member Alice Glass poignantly moving around and changing into various dresses, is directed by band member Ethan Kath, and you can watch it over at Vs.Magazine. Stay tuned for more info on their new album.

Crystal Castles Prepare New Album

According to a recent print edition of NME, electronic duo Crystal Castles will be recording their new album in Warsaw and plan to release it sometime this summer. The new album will be a followup to their great sophomore release, Crystal Castles (II), and like all their other albums, it will be self-produced by Ethan Kath.

Regarding the bands sound, Kath states: “every song we write feels bleak to me. I don’t get it when people think it’s beautiful. I think it [bleakness] is the only emotion we do. We don’t want to do anything else.”

Stay tuned for more information on the album.
