The “Edie” news in relation to “Knights” was a revelation never before shared by Kath. (And Edie is also presumably the baby in that picture.) It’s not impossible to imagine that the vocalist on this track is in fact a child whose voice has been pitch-shifted. So there you have it, maybe? Edie, presumably, is also Edith. features edie whose voice i sampled on “knights” this was the photo used in the press release (alice wasn’t in the band yet). It’s the same photo that’s at the top of this page - of Kath and a baby in a pink onesie - and it included the following caption:ġ0th anniversary of the release of “untrust us” and “magic spells”. That hint came in the form of a photo shared by Kath on Crystal Castles’ Facebook. Many of the speculators, though, missed a hint provided by Kath two days ago. Numerous Facebook commenters suggested that Edith was in fact Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell, who certainly looks a little bit like Glass. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. I wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. Kath later edited that message, cutting out the notes regarding Glass’ involvement in Crystal Castles, and adding a new bit of information: the name of the vocalist on “Frail,” whom he identified only as “Edith”: people often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, i didn’t care.
“Not In Love,” “Vanished,” “Crimewave,” “Vietnam,” “Magic Spells,” “Knights,” “Air War,” “Leni,” “Lovers Who Uncover,” “Violent Youth,” “Reckless,” “Year of Silence,” “Intimate,” “1991,” “Good Time,” “Violent Dreams” etc.). it should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs. When “Frail” dropped, it was accompanied by a message from Kath, saying the following of Glass: That would have made sense: Crystal Castles were a duo made up of Glass and songwriter/producer/instrumentalist Ethan Kath. The duo debuted more new material in early 2016, and Crystal Castles' fourth album Amnesty appeared that August.Yesterday, Crystal Castles released a new song, “ Frail” - which came as something of a shock, as the band’s vocalist, Alice Glass, announced her departure from the group last year, causing many people to believe Crystal Castles were done for good. Another new song, "Deicide," surfaced that July, a few months before the new lineup's live debut at the Soundswild Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa that November. Glass left the project in October 2014 to pursue a solo career in April 2015, Kath resurfaced with a new Crystal Castles track, "Frail," which featured new vocalist Edith Frances. For 2012's more streamlined III, the duo decamped to Warsaw, where they recorded direct to tape, eschewing any computer-assisted recording. The duo returned in 2010 with another self-titled album when it leaked onto the Internet in late April of that year, the band released it digitally soon after, with a physical release following that May.
Tours with the Presets and Metric in 2007 set the stage for the release of Crystal Castles' self-titled debut album, which Last Gang released early in 2008.
Kath and Glass worked on their own songs and also honed their remixing skills, tweaking songs for Klaxons as well as GoodBooks, Uffie, Health, and Bloc Party. "Alice Practice" was released as a limited-edition 7" in summer 2006 on Merok Records, also home to Klaxons its 500-copy run sold out in three days. One of the songs the pair recorded, "Alice Practice," was something of an accident: it was intended to be a demo of Glass testing out a microphone, but its presence on MySpace piqued record labels' interest. When Kath collaborated with singer Alice Glass on some songs in spring 2005, Crystal Castles' lineup was complete.

Kath got the moniker from the name of She-Ra's dwelling in the He-Man and Masters of the Universe cartoon series it's also the name of a 1983 Atari video game, which is oddly appropriate, considering that one component of the band's distinctive sound comes from a keyboard modified with an Atari 5200 sound chip. Fusing lo-res electronic noise and pop hooks so effortlessly that it can seem accidental, Crystal Castles began as producer/multi-instrumentalist Ethan Kath's solo project in late 2003.
