(III)
Genre: Electronic
Crystal Castles said their new album would be bleak, and if you can't tell by the album art, it is. Eschewing all their formerly used instruments (supposedly) Castles set out to lay down a new sound for their junior record. And while it is different to their other work, (III) is still distinctly theirs. No other band can make sadness so danceable--oppression so light. If your not up for a dirge, don't worry, just look past the album cover and know that you can't understand what Alice Glass is singing anyway. If you didn't know this was basically a soundtrack to the Arab Spring, you would assume it was a dance club's playlist.
