Crystal Castles - Seattle WA

Crystal Castles is an experimental electronic music band of Canadian origin. The band comprises of Ethan Kath, the producer and Alice Glass on vocals. The duo is famous for their over the top live acts and homemade productions that depict a strong sense of adventure and thrill. The name of the band is inspired by a phrase from a cartoon character, She-Ra, where he states, ‘The fate of the world is safe in the Crystal Castle’.

Ethan Kath met Alice in Toronto, when the singer was performing with a punk band. After listening to her performance, he said to have found an ‘undiscovered poet’ in Alice. Kath further requested Alice to record vocals for his musical scores. When Alice recorded her sound checks in a local music studio, an engineer secretly saved her recording. This was later discovered by Kath who named the recording ‘Alice Practice’ and uploaded it on the internet under the title ‘Crystal Castle’. The song received great popularity and Kath began to receive offers from many record labels. Alice unaware of the existence of ‘Alice Practice’, was approached by London’s UK’s Merok Records for her permission to release the song on vinyl. She then joined Ethan Kath and together they released their first album called ‘Crystal Castles’. The record received positive reviews and made its presence felt on the music charts. Following their first record, the duo has produced a couple of other albums namely ‘Crystal Castles II’ and ‘Crystal Castles III’.
