This is whopper. Crystal Castles again self-titled sophomore album has leaked. I’ve just listened to two new tracks, ‘Pap Smear’ (yum) and ‘Suffocation’.

Firstly, the tracks amazing, so no worries about CC being one-hit wonders.

Secondly, it’s a lot more dreamy than I thought it would be. But I like it. This album definitely shows the maturity of CC since the first album. Crystal Castles 1 was raw Alice captured and locked in a computer. This time round however, Stockholm Syndrome has taken a hold of her and she’s drifting ghost-like through computers and keyboards. I would marry her if she asked me. She is so awesome.

I saw them last summer at a festival called Oxegen in Ireland and it was mental. If you’ve never been to one of their gigs, be afraid, but fuck it, go anyway and punch some one in the face. Ethan approves. I remember going schizo at these two tween bitches. Good times.
