unfortunately i cant find a video of their performance at the festival, but there are others. anyway check them out, the song i particularly enjoyed is alice practice.

check them out on their myspace page too where you can check out more tunesness.

after listening to their album a bit i have found myself as intrigued as i am maybe a little annoyed too though. the sounds are fresh, they’re sweat, but the percussions are weak and the vocals tucked behind vaguelly familiar video game beeps and bloops can get a little tiresome. so it remains to be seen whether crystal castle is a one trick pony.

i hope that these young, talented musicians don’t end up as a flash in the pan. they have potential, but perhaps they need to grow up a little? they are perfectly lined up for the disappearing act we see all too often from talented musicians who are forced to create. that goes wrong all too often.
