Crystal Castles – “Celestica”

The first time I ever saw Crystal Castles was in the summer of 2007, aka the best summer of my life. It was one of the most abrasive, in-your-face performances I had ever seen. When their debut album was coming out about a year later, I wasn’t sure how it would stand up to their live show. The energy translated pretty well and the duo delivered a great album. But their newest album is even better with the addition of gems like “Celestica.” Sure to be near the top of every publication’s “Albums Of The Year” lists.
