Crystal Castles
By wavelength ~ Posted Thursday, March 9th 2006Crystal Castles' brand of glitchy electropop incorporates plenty of video game audio samples, which would make you think that they're named after the Atari coin-op title from the early 80s. But no, no. That's merely a bizarre coincidence. They're actually named after He-Man sibling She-Ra's castle. What does that have to do with the music? Probably nothing. But rest assurred that their brand of awesomeness will have you just a little misty-eyed. Actually, that's probably not true. But it will leave you mighty impressed. Check out a few of their tracks (the link is on the main page) and check out the show. You won't be disappointed.
