Since forming in the summer of 2004, Crystal Castles, the Toronto-based duo of Ethan Kath and Alice Glass have amassed a cult following through their uncompromising and intense delivery, a slew of limited edition singles and shows packed solely from word of mouth. Their 7" singles have sold out almost instantly, they have toured extensively in the UK, Europe and North America with artists such as The Klaxons and Metric. Now they bring their full on 8-bit assault to a proper full length album which has topped many people's lists of "Most Anticipated Releases of 2008".
