Crystal Castles - Air War
Published Wednesday, 16th January, 2008 at 1:48 PM
This video by Crystal Castles for their new 7" Air War was supposedly not intended to be released (so why was it made?), but is now floating around cyberspace thanks to a source leaking the promo.
Like the Teddybears, the Toronto duo want to keep their identities secret, so as band members Ethan Kath & Alice Glass walk around the streets, taking buses and whatnot, all the while holding melting ice cream in their hands, their faces have been hidden by giant-sized ice cream cone masks.
Air War is typical of the style we've come to expect from the pairing; vocalist Alice has her vocals snipped-up and stuttered into almost child-like whispers, and the music is all 8-bit gamecore goofiness - bleeping console noises, bouncy cartoon beats and a squishy bassline.
Crystal Castles release their self-titled album on February 19th via Last Gang Records and you can read futher info on the record in this article.
