Seems homegrown Crystal Castles haven't managed to die from whatever it is that inspires them. They've got a new album dropping on June 7th, which will, probably unsurprisingly to most, also be eponymous.
They had pretty much slid off my radar; their first album was actually very interesting, and their take on synths, distortion, and 8-bit cacophony was actually quite compelling. It didn't take long for it to lose its magic on me though, and I've found it an album I'm seldom tempted to revisit.
However, I'm liking what I hear from this new track, Celestica. Seems to maintain their ambiance without being quite as noisy as some of their earlier stuff. That will make for a more compelling and longer-lasting package, if the rest of the album lives up to it.
