Crystal Castles finally confirmed the release date for the long-awaited third album, (III). The album drops digitally November 5th and physical copies hit stores the next day. If you’re not already excited, go watch the creepy “Plague” video again, drink some blood or something, and get in a Crystal Castles state of mind.
The album was recorded mostly in Berlin and Warsaw, and producer Ethan Kath says:
“We wanted the new album to sound like a completely different and new experience. We’d limit ourselves to one take on each song because we believe the first take is the rawest expression of an idea.”
Alice Glass explains:
“Oppression is a theme, in general… A lot of bad things have happened to people close to me since II and it’s profoundly influenced my writing as I’ve realized there will never be justice for them. I didn’t think I could lose faith in humanity any more than I already had, but after witnessing some things, it feels like the world is a dystopia where victims don’t get justice and corruption prevails.”
