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.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their 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.
