Crystal Castles and inverted commas

So yeah, Crystal Castles. Those wacky guys off skins who did a party/gig event with loads of suitably cocained up teens, like foals, are actually quite good. Without drawing too much attention to the fact that this article is rooted in the darkest depths of music snobbery, i direct you to listen to and appreciate the Canadian electro duo (whenever and wherever is appropriate) without giving much thought to contemporaries "Shit-disco", "Party-shank". and "We-smoke-fags". Even though the CC train has arrived, bringing with it an army of terrible terrible fisher price NeU RavE!!!! outfits, thier sound is too exciting, listenable and "partayable" to ignore.



Back when I quite liked the Little Ones (they kind of disappeared a bit didnt they?), I found an Oh MJ promo at COLLECTORS RECORDS GUILDFORD and as a result was pleasantly suprised to find a remix by Crystal Castles on the B side. This I give to you. Use it wisely friend(s).
