Anyone who has ever seen Alice Glass screaming and shaking on stage knows how powerful Crystal Castles is live. The band has an undeniable appeal on the indie rock circuit thanks to Glass' quirky yet astonishing vocals, and songs like "Baptism" are part of what has been selling concert tickets like crazy to Crystal Castles shows over the last few years.
Crystal Castles came together on accident, when Alice Glass and electronics whiz Ethan Kath were experimenting in the studio. Kath had been playing with keyboard instrumentals reminiscent of 8-bit video game soundtracks. Glass joined him and sang on a track called "Alice Practice, but neither expected the song to turn them into indie stars. The result was quite the opposite for the group, which has rocketed into superstardom since.
"Alice Practice" sums up the band's sound well, with Glass' electronically distorted vocals layered over hypnotic beats and keyboards. It wasn't meant to be a hit, as the song started as just a demo of Glass testing out a microphone. It had an appealing quality, however, and the song was a smash hit upon release. It attracted notice of record companies, and eventually earned Crystal Castles their first big single.
Crystal Castles' eponymous debut album was released in 2008, causing a buzz in the indie rock community and attracting praise from critics online. The band's fetish for pop icons extends from the abode of cartoon warrior She-Ra, which they're named after.
