Crystal Castles was a Canadian electronic music group formed in 2006 in Toronto, Ontario. Ethan Kath and Alice Glass were the two members initially. Later Alice left the group in October 2014, and was replaced by Edith Frances.
Alice cited personal and professional reasons for her departure. Later, when the group was on tour for supporting their album Amnesty(I), Alice accused Ethan of se*ual misconduct leading to the cancellation of the further dates.
Ever since her allegations, the band hasn’t produced any new material or done any live performances.
As of recent, some of their songs seemed to have gone viral on platforms like Instagram, YouTube and many more. Their music has gained a lot of exposure and a lot of content creators use their audio for reels.
In my opinion, these are the top 5 songs by the group that I really like.
1. Empathy
2. Crystal Castles – Suffocation
3. Kerosene
4. Transgender
5. Magic Spells
Their songs are unique in terms of the impact that they create on the listener’s mind. Their tracks have a dark and sinister vibe while being incredibly smooth in terms of rhythm and melody.
They were one of a kind in terms of the music they produced. There songs have stood the test of time and their music will live on in my opinion. Its sad that the group had a bad ending but their impact in the music world will never be forgotten.
Anyway guys, let me know what you all think of their music. Let me know in the comments below.
