Crystal Castles was a Canadian electronic music group formed in 2006 in Toronto, Ontario, formed by songwriter-producer Ethan Kath and singer-songwriter Alice Glass, who later left and was replaced by Edith Frances. Crystal Castles were known for their chaotic live shows and lo-fi melancholic homemade productions. They released many limited vinyl singles between 2006 and 2007 before releasing four studio albums between 2008 and 2016.

The long awaited debut album from former Crystal Castles member/survivor is an electrifying blast of raw emotion.
'This is a victory for survivors of abuse and sexual misconduct.'
Police confirm that "there is an investigation."
'I can't support extortion, false claims, and accusations put forth after the band attained new success without her.'
Singer issues statement on her website.
"Frances doesn't quite bring the angsty punk attitude of Glass but puts her own spin on the Crystal Castles back catalogue."
A typically brief chat with the duo before they arrive in Australia later this month..
So much beautiful alliteration..
First time in the country since 2013.
"Frances could be calling for the canonisation of Tony Abbott or reciting a killer maple-bacon donut recipe for all we know."
