Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles say that their original record deal came about by some sort of mistake. After uploading some experimental mic tests on their MySpace in 2005, a selection of record companies were ‘accidentally’ won over, and prepared their offers for the Toronto duo’s signatures.

They mixed their debut album Crystal Castles in The Yard in December 2007 with engineer Lexxx Dromgoole, which preceded singer Alice Glass’s placement at the summit of the NME’s Cool List the following year. Alice and bandmate Ethan Kath were back at Miloco in 2010, working on their second album in The Square with Lexxx.
