Vanish crystal castles lyrics
The albums most drastic change follows immediately after “Baptism†though with the track “Year of Silence,†a song in which all the vocals are taken as a sample from the Sigur Ros song, “InnÃ* mér syngur vitleysingur (Within Me A Lunatic Sings).†The gorgeous Icelandic lyrics of Sigur Ros works surprisingly well over the mid-tempo electronic beat.
The track “Baptism†also follows this familiar pattern with its dance-floor worthy beat similar to that of “Courtship Dating†of the previous album. Its rapid beat is and epileptic’s nightmare and the squealing vocals of Glass shouting, “deathray! deathray! deathray!†is a great fun endeavor into familiar territory. The song stands at only one and a half minutes, but that short time delivers one hell of a punch. We know the old thrashy sounds of the band could not be entirely lost when the song “Doe Deer†comes on.
Over the mellow trance-like beat her voice slides like silk through the words of a very dark but lovely writer, “When the splints have been broken/And they can't help you now/Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally?†Who is this band set before us now? It is the same old Crystal Castles, but evolved in so many beautiful ways. This sentiment comes out even more in the following track, “Celestica.†This track is a major wake up-slap to Crystal Castles fans as it is actually Alice singing, yes singing, not screaming or shouting, not growling or screeching, singing. Through all the screeching noises and shouts of Alice Glass on this song something indescribably appealing comes out of the song because although its noisy, there is a strange sentimental vibe behind it all. The song is quite similar to the Crystal Castles that we heard on the previous album, just a bit more produced sounding and generally enhanced mechanically. The album opens up with “Fainting Spells,†a song that is an obvious correlation with “Magic Spells†of the previous album. Thus the birth of Crystal Castles, their second self-titled album. This leak caused the band to push the album forward from its June release date to a mid-May release. Then in April of 2010, more wonderful news came of a limited release EP featuring a new song titled “Doe Deer.†Just days after the EP was released though, curiosity struck the hardcore fans of Crystal Castles and the entire second album leaked online. It was not until December of 2009 when they returned with news of a second album, though no further information was released. The anticipation was building greater as the months flew buy. The fans, while still loyal, were left a little confused unknowing of if the band was finished forever or just on break. No Myspace updates, no interviews, no shows, nothing. Shortly after the debut album was released, the band went on a short world tour, after which the duo totally and completely vanished from the public eye. The battle over all the samples was settled with no charges made, but the infamous Madonna picture had to be put away or at least until a few years later when they did in fact buy the rights to the image to be used on their t-shirts. Though extremely successful, the duo faced many legal troubles in their use of samples and a peculiar picture of Madonna with a black eye that was intended to be the albums cover. After many leaked demos featuring the fast and rhythmic beats of Ethan Kath and the screaming vocals of the ever-so edgy Alice Glass, the band finally released their debut album in 2008. The perpetrator of the murders is kept secret until the very end in a bizarre twist that leaves the readers mind in a warp of shock and awe it is this kind of mystery that the Canadian electronic band, Crystal Castles uses to its highest potential. The book tells the story of ten people brought to huge mansion nestled on a remote island, all ten are complete strangers but all begin to meet to suspicious deaths on the island within a single night, and with each death one of the ten little Native American dolls in the dining hall vanish. The book stands as the seventh most popular book of all time and easily the most popular mystery novel, for good reason. Take the novel, “And Then There Were None†by Agatha Christie for example. Mysteries combine shock and thrill to push the audience and characters alike to the brink of madness. And you can't forgive them.Įveryone loves a good mystery, that frightening suspense of the unknown, the terrifying thought that your best friend may not be the person you thought they were.
