Watch: new Crystal Castles video
- Artists:
- Crystal Castles »
Crystal Castles are, by all accounts, difficult sods. But you can afford to be, I suppose, when you're releasing singles as good as 'Courtship Dating' out into the world.
Playing chicken/egg with Timbaland's 'AYO Technology', the single also fills its background with HEALTH's harsh wails and screams, vocalist Alice's voice refracted over 'Courtship'.
The single is released on the 21st of April, a week ahead of their self-titled debut album. Review soon, video below. And yes, it is supposed to be dark for a while at the start - wait it out.

Share on Facebookthis is a good track
i also like the van she one they did; vanished.
any thoughts on the album?
Aaaaah!
I was wondering who did Vanished with them, that's one of my favourite tracks off the album along with Black Panther and Courtship Dating
Hahaha.
Truly offensive music.
i'm impressed by...
....the assassins creed advert below the video - because the dude has the same outfit as Alice!
This is possibly my favourite track from the album
and the album likewise is amazing.
defo my favourite release of the year so far.
shite video though.
are they actually any good live?
um...
the album came out last month.
I work in a record shop and have held it in my hands so I should know.
UK Release Date
I think they're referring to the UK release date, not the North American one.
Difficult Sods?
Is this really the case? I've heard "stories" about that, but are they perhaps just misunderstood.
This interview seems to make it sound like they're just having a bit of fun with the whole media thing:
