(2003 – present)

Crystal Castles consists of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass. They are named after the lyrics “The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles” and “Crystal Castles, the source of all power” both from the theme song for She-Ra’s fortress. Ethan Kath formed the band alone in December 2003. In April 2005, Glass recorded vocals over five original instrumentals by Kath. The band’s first single (“Alice Practice”) was actually a microphone test by Glass. She was not aware that the recording existed until London Uk’s Merok Records asked to release the track on vinyl. The release sold out instantly. NME Magazine has included their debut album in their “Top 50 Albums of the Decade” list at #39

Crystal Castles are known not only for their own efforts as a band, but also for commissioned remixes for number of groups, including “Hunting For Witches” by Bloc Party, and “Atlantis To Interzone” by friends and label mates, Klaxons.

@Rosnay you're confused with Klaxons "I hear that they doesn't want to release coz it still isn't too comercial."

My life won't be complete until Alice Glass snorts a line of cocaine off of my erect penis.

in 2005 the Insecticon 12" was cancelled because the band's management couldn't find any contact info for Lo-bat who they had sampled, to ask permission. therefore the song WAS NEVER RELEASED but you can find it if you look hard enough. i hear Lo-bat has given permission so they might finally release Insecticon, would be nice to hear a clear version, mine is super lo-fi.
