We bring you the sounds that crash to shore, to wash over you at night

MP3: Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles Save Christmas (requested to be removed)
Every time we have posted about Crystal Castles in the last few months weve had ‘the Man’ on our ass getting us to take them down. Its always hard to tell what is fine to post and whats not. Well, I got hold of the new album, and its pretty good. I mean, honestly I was never a big fan of the louder ‘Alice Practice’ style Crystal Castles, but the other tracks are great.

Most importantly, you have probably heard the terrible news about Alice so… everyone here at Waves at Night would love to wish Alice all the best for a speedy recovery. Six weeks is a HUGE wait, so my fingers are crossed…
The horror 8-bit duo Crystal Castles have their self titled album coming out March 18th on Last Gang Records, containing 16 epic tracks. One track that stands out for me is “Vanished”, containing a more C. Castles’ flavoured vocal of Van She’s “Sex City”. Sounds interesting thats for sure.

In terms of tours that are coming up, props to my man Josh Jakq for getting one of my heroes Fred Falke to tour the land of Oz. Expect to see him around April 4.

Also, the Van She “Cat & the Eye” tour starts in two days.. Look here for the full list of venues where they will be playing. I will be lucky enough to see them in Geelong and then a set later on in the night by yours truely Van She Tech. Bliss.

Finally my eyes witnessed the 8-Bit duo Crystal Castles hailing from Canada at Pogo last night. Oh, and I have never seen a crazier, blood-thirstier 30minute set in my life. The energy in the place was immense! Props to Dardanelles who supported on the night.
Crystal Castles still have gigs lined up in the country (21/12: Empire Hotel, Brisbane and 22/12: Click Click, Melbourne) so if you live close-by go check them out! Please?
