Having one self-titled record is de rigeur these days and probably always has been. Having two, well, that's less conventional for obvious reasons relating to clarity. Toronto glitch-core purveyors Crystal Castles have adopted that tactic, and have decided to go with Crystal Castles again for their forthcoming second LP.
It'll be released on June 7 through Fiction, was written in various places around the world including a church in Iceland, a cabin in Ontario and a garage somewhere in Detroit. It was also produced by Ethan Kath of the duo and will be preceded by a limited edition 12" release of 'Doe Deer' on Record Store Day (April 17), which will in turn be followed by 'Celestica'. More information about the 'Doe Deer' single here.
