Crystal Castles - '(III)'

Crystal Castles(III)Polydor Ltd (UK)If you didn’t think Crystal Castles could possibly get any darker, than you were surely mistaken. With their third studio album, subtly titled (III), the alternative electronic duo has dug even deeper into their dark pit of synthesizer beeps and painstaking vocals. The result, however, is quite fantastic. The dark urgency of songs like “Sad Eyes” and “Kerosene” may be too much for the average listener to handle, but the album adds up to an unbelievably dark club experience; a club which resides in the dark recesses of Alice Glass’s mind between the depression and the genius. —Bobby Weisblatt[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/65512991" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
