Crystal Castles have resurfaced….sort of. The lesser known other half of the glitchy noise duo has decided to keep the torch burning without the assistance of Alice Glass on vocals. Glass left last October leaving what many thought would’ve been the end of music from Crystal Castles. However, after a statement from Ethan Kath that had originally accompanied the new single, “Frail,” you have to wonder who the real brains was behind the operation. Kath has proven that there is music after Glass and discouraged Crystal Castles fans should keep their chins up. (h/t Spin)
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.-Ethan Kath
