Description

The cult electronic duo Crystal Castles return with a reissue of their groundbreaking second album, Crystal Castles (II), on 2LP black vinyl. Originally released in 2010, the album solidified the bands status as pioneers of chaotic, lo-fi electro with a dark, melancholic edge.

The album features some of their most iconic tracks, including the Celestica, Baptism, and the glitch-heavy aggression of Doe Deer. Not In Love – later reworked with The Cures Robert Smith – stands as one of their most celebrated songs, blending icy synths with raw emotion.

A perfect mix of beauty and brutality, Crystal Castles (II) captures the band at their peak. Essential listening for fans of experimental electronica and darkwave.
