Manchesters NO CEREMONY are what I really want Crystal Castles to sound like. Their dubious trance-pop pulsates deep within and never loses its grip. The band is finally set to release their proper debut single HURTLOVE later this month. With dual echoed out vocals crooning over a keyboard-led path to destruction, the track feels like the comedown after an intense rave. A sorrow, chilling time period where anything can come alive.

The role of any artist is usually to push the boundaries sometimes in the guise of publicity, often for the sake of social commentary, and sometimes just because they can (cough, Madonna, cough). Unfortunately, those artists arent the topic of this article.This article is about artists whove gone too far by acting inappropriately off or on-stage and crossed the line with or without intent. There are public faux pas, there are unfortunate misdemeanors, and then there are full-on, highly publicized, embarrassingly public meltdowns that would put even Kanye West, King of the Mid-Concert Rant, to shame.

all photos by Brittany Brassell Toronto rave gods Crystal Castles are known for their brutally intense live show. Alice Glass smokes nearly an entire pack of cigarettes on stage and makes some good progress on a bottle of Jack Daniels, while Ethan Kath barely looks up from his table, making sure that every pulsing bass drop shakes the building to its foundation and keeps the energy at impossibly high levels. But during the band's first round of support for their 2012 record, III , late last year, Showbox SODO [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-03T14:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4930408/the-joy-formidable-and-diamond-rings-and-crystal-castles-to/

Nick Bostick That Arcade Fire will release a new record this year - possibly/probably produced by or at least involving James Murphy - is pretty much a given. But also a given is that it won't be out until Fall, at the earliest, because a) it's already Spring and it's not done, and b) Fall is still when all the big records come out and this is about as big as they get. It would be nice to be able to say that Arcade Fire violinist Sarah Neufeld will be able [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-03T05:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4929492/bumbershoot-announces-2013-music-lineup/

Adventure: Weird Work - This new release from Carpark Records marks Baltimore-based electronic artist Adventure 's third take on the LP format. Adventure (Benny Boeldt) synthesizes chip-tunes, chillwave, and IDM into a signature soundscape very much informed by vintage video-game soundtracks. This release, Weird Work , marks a shift from his previous endeavors. Shaking off the more pop influenced format of his last album, Boeldt forges new ground, taking us on more of an experimental, well, Adventure. Adventure has shaken off the catchy vocals associated with his second album Lesser Known [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-02T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4928407/video-of-the-moment-1198-crystal-castles/

Crystal Castles have released an interesting visual to sit alongside "Affection". It's made up entirely of footage taken while they were on tour in South America. It's then been spliced together Stephen Agnew after Alice was filmed by Ethan, Crystal Castles were filmed by Chris Chartrand, the bands live drummer, and Ashley McMinn was filmed by Marc Pannozzo a long time Crystal Castles video collaborator. The result is a blur of intoxication and frantic performances. Perfect for the beautiful, moody melody of the track.

Photographer Minh Tran took in the Crystal Castles show at the Roseland on Monday. Here's what he heard and saw. Sequestered in a minute area stage left, directly facing an array of rapid-fire, high-power stage lights, and allowed only to photograph the first three songs, I mustered what I could. Then I spent the remainder of the show watching the crowd take photos four inches from Alice's face with their HD phones. I imagine this is what the horseshoe maker felt like watching the construction of a freeway.

The Toronto band is touring on their 2012 album (III) , so get lost in their butt-moving wash of synthy layers, which oscillate from dark and aggressive to warm soundscapes. Wear your party pants.
