Crystal Castles, a beacon of innovation within the electronic music scene, emerged from Toronto, Ontario, in 2005. The duo, consisting of songwriter-producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass, quickly distinguished themselves with their unique blend of chaotic live performances and lo-fi, melancholic productions. Their sound, an amalgamation of abrasive electronic textures and ethereal melodies, carved a distinct niche in the electronic music landscape.
Throughout their career, Crystal Castles released a series of limited vinyl singles that caught the underground scene's attention between 2006 and 2007, laying the groundwork for their subsequent success. They went on to release four critically acclaimed studio albums from 2008 to 2016, each further solidifying their position as pioneers of a new electronic aesthetic. Their innovative approach to music production and performance has left an indelible mark on the electronic and dance music genres, influencing countless artists and fans worldwide.
