Crystal Castles Announce Comeback Single

• 30th Mar 2010

Crystal Castles gear up for a huge year ahead of them with the very limited 12” release of the new track ‘Doe Deer’ on 17th April on Fiction Records/Lies Records. It will be an exclusive 12″ limited to 500 copies worldwide, vinyl only, no digital or CD release. Typically abrasive and sonically arresting it sees the duo in their most raw format.

Produced by Crystal Castles’ Ethan Kath, ‘Doe Deer’ is an abruptly to-the-point one minute thirty seven riot of brutally modernist, white noise punk power. The EP also includes 3 bonus songs of pure guitar-noise which are some of the first ever Crystal Castles tracks, recorded a year before the band added electronics to their sound.

A1 – “Doe Deer”
A2 – “Mother Knows Best” (2004 guitar version)
B1 – “Insectica” (2004 guitar version)
B2 – “Seed” (2004 guitar version)

The 12″ is released Apr 17th through Fiction Records/Lies Records for Record Store Day, and will be available exclusively via participating stores worldwide.

With Myspace, Last FM and Spotify plays now past 50 million and on a par with Lady Gaga, Muse and Green Day, Crystal Castles are unquestionably the biggest underground band in the world.

Their groundbreaking debut album, intense live shows, hardcore punk ethic and total lack of compromise has won them a legion of dedicated fans the world over.

Their second album is now finished and will be ready for release in June.

The band will be debuting new material at a series of low key dates across the globe.

20-Apr – LONDON, Heaven, UK
