What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

It seems that you lot are going crazy for Crystal Castles. I must confess I fail to see the fascination. Crystal Castles Vs Health 'Crime Wave' is an 8-bit / Gameboy punk rock, like a trashed out DJ Scotch Egg in plastic and leather trousers with a neon pink spandex leotard. Am talking utter shit now. The flipside is a more somber electro pop / wave number.

What the label says:

THIS IS THE SECOND SINGLE FROM BOY / GIRL DUO FROM TORONTO, CANADA, CRYSTAL CASTLES WHO WERE NAMED AFTER THE FORTRESS IN THE CARTOON SHE-RA, PRINCESS OF POWER. IT'S THE DEBUT RELEASE ON HIP NEW LONDON LABEL TROUBLE RECORDINGS. 'CRIMEWAVE' IS A MEETING OF CRYSTAL CASTLES WITH LA NOISE TERRORISTS HEALTH. CRYSTAL CASTLES HAVE TURNED THE TRACK INTO A DEEP, WARM AND ROBOTIC ELECTRO STUNNER BASED AROUND A DEADPAN VOCAL AND A BLEEP SNYTH MELODY. THIS IS THE TRACK FISCHERSPOONER ALWAYS WANTED TO WRITE. FLIP 'XXZXCZX ME' IS A TWO MINUTE DRILL AND DISTORT ELECTRONIC BANGER WITH ARCADE GAME NOISES TAKING CONTROL OF THE MELODY. IT'S LIKE A SMALL CHILD TRYING TO RECRATE A WORLD WHERE NOISE AND ATTITUDE ARE APPLAUDED. FIRST SINGLE ON MEROK SOLD OUT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE. HUGE PRESS AND RADIO CAMPAIGN (ROB DA BANK LIVE FROM MAIDA VALE 12TH AUGUST) - SEE ONESHEET ON WEBSITE FOR FULL DETAILS - PLUS UK TOUR STARTING WEEK OF RELEASED AND LEADING UP TO READING / LEEDS FESTIVALS. THIS IS MASSIVE. 1000 COPIES ONLY
