Crystal Castles share new song

2015-04-16 by MattTD | 42 Comments
The Canadian electronic group Crystal Castles have released a new song, which is their first new material without their former vocalist.

The song is titled "Frail", and can be streamed using the link below. Following the departure of Alice Glass from the band in October 2014, the song features a new singer known only as "Edith".

Producer Ethan Kath stated "I wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. I think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. It should be rewarding for her."

It is not yet clear whether more new material from the group is on the way.

Trust me Yak, if you just listen to the song you'd barely even notice she's gone

Yeah, she does a great Alice impression. You could tell me this was just an unreleased track from before Alice left and I'd believe it.

I was asking because i thought i remembered something about them falling out because ethan basically did everything and that maybe that was why they broke up

If that makes sense

"who even is the new vocalist?"

A chick named Edith. I think that's all we know at this point.

I love Crystal Castles (also fan of Alice) but I'm just happy this style of music is continuing. I love the new song.

this was his original statement:

"i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. I think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. It should be rewarding for her considering she didn't appear on Crystal Castles' best known songs, (she's not on 'Untrust Us'. 'Not In Love', 'Vanished', 'Crimewave', 'Vietnam', 'Magic Spells', 'Knights', 'Air War', 'Leni', 'Lovers Who Uncover', 'Violent Youth', 'Reckless', 'Year of Silence', 'Intimate', '1991', 'Good Time', 'Violent Dreams' etc.). People often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, I didn't care."

Awww, Alice thinks she's peoples! I always thought of her as a slightly mentally-imbalanced vagrant who would, stoned out of her mind, get on stage and scream unintelligibly.

Crystal Castles has always been a band that I enjoy but I can never fully immerse myself in their stuff, and I thought this new song was better than most of their earlier stuff, so I guess that's cool. I enjoy the new singers voice waaaay more, even though they're quite similar in style. Her singing voice is prettier imo, and her shouts sound almost identical to Alice's.
