"We'd limit ourselves to one take on each song because we believe the first take is the rawest expression of an idea." By ditching their old synthesizers and keyboards used on I and II, Ethan enforced a "strictly no computers" rule in the studio and began recording everything directly to tape. Together the Canadian duo has conjured up a collection of songs that are as a raw as they are well rounded. As the album unfolds, each track will take you to greater heights and equal lows, as you enter the sometimes plagued and often polarized world that is Crystal Castles.

darkeyelids Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The previous two have been doubles, judging by the amount of tracks i will say this one is too. Sad Eyes 7" with the b-side 'Never Been Touched' is due to be released later this year (although their track record with proposed 7" releases of late has been bad) and the Affection EP is due in February with 4-5 acoustic tracks Exciting times ahead!

harryq Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 everyone keeps pushing back the posted release date. last I looked, it was christmas. I'm getting a little impatient, but hopefully it'll ship soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Bummer. Thanks for the update though. Also, could you fix the broken amazon link and change the release date in the OP please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 my amazon order finally shipped! I'll update the thread when I get my record on tuesday and amazon is probably the best way to go. $15.99 shipped free (if you have prime), though interpunk has it for $14.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryq Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Pretty stoked for this album, love the 3 songs. Probably just pick it up at the local shop in town in case you haven't heard the whole album, they have the whole thing on their youtube account http://www.youtube.com/user/holograms?feature=watch and if you haven't heard "sad eyes"... super great song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 btw, the record sounds great. it has more bass than I had expected, but I have been listening to the album on youtube on my laptop (instead of my speakers with subs), so whatever. packaging isn't anything too exciting. non-gatefold jacket, printed inner sleeve. record is on regular weight vinyl. no mp3 download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 yeah i got this in today. havent opened it but it seems thin. as long as it sounds good though, idgaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
