Crystal Castles just released the first single from their upcoming album, due in late September. Of the album, producer Ethan Kath told NME, “There’s no departure. We like how we sound. We don’t wanna change.” Alice Glass commented, “There’s lots of themes, but feeling, like, oppressed… A lot of things not personally happening to us, since the past record, but people we know kind of profoundly influenced everything. Like, I didn’t think I could lose faith in humanity any more than I already had, but after witnessing some things, it just… the world is a dystopia. I’m one step away from being a vigilante. I’ve thought about it”.
The duo has also announced some tour dates with HEALTH. Check the dates below.
