Crystal Castles - Vanished
This has that MGMT hook, you know the one where the song might fall on its arse were it not for that memorable synth line. The Toronto duo of Ethan Kath and Alice Glass tend to shift from one minor skirmish to the next and in the process swell their army of devotees. Said army tends to be of the rabidly youthful and skin obsessed kind yet it’s easy to see the attraction when the goodies shimmy as fluidly as on ‘Vanished’. Funny that because their parents probably have one ear trained on the goings on such is its peculiarly retro vibe. A definite case of history repeating but this time with much cooler haircuts. KD
