I'm not a massive fan or anything but I do really love them. My favourite CC song is Plague - it's just flawless. So atmospheric and intense... I love it so much. I wanted to go to their upcoming tour but I don't have anyone to go with, sigh. I can't wait for the new album, but I don't really know anything about it... have we got much information about it yet?

[Mileena]

thanks for the information deathray! when i saw them post it on their facebook earlier i screamed!:L

 

ooooh i'm so excited! i love cc as much as lana. trust me, that's a lot.

All I know is what I posted, haha.

 

Look at what I just found on tumblr!

It’s a picture taken by Spanish photographer Samuel Arnada which features a woman named Fatima al-Qaws holding her son, Zayed, who suffered from tear gas duing a street demonstration in Yemon in 2011.

[Mileena]

gosh, that makes it really intense! i reckon it links to wrath of god, and plague is about possession. oh god, i can't wait!

[teethclick]

Mhm. Ugh I'm really hyped for Wrath of God. If it isn't released as a single, I wouldn't mind if it leaked just about now.

 

And these are appearently confirmed tracks from III.

Plague

Wrath of God

Sad Eyes

Never Been Touched

Child, I will Hurt You

[teethclick]

Wrath of God was really good.

Awww, thanks! No problem, haha.

[Mileena]

WOAH. i'm loving this track! the first part reminds me of baptism a little bit.

[ednafrau]

CC, for now there's no crystal castles concerts in sight for me...i hope their new tour brings them down to argentina again!

deathray, thanks for sharing "wrath of god", i love it!!

some info direct from alice and ethan that i read on pitchfork.com:

"Oppression is a theme, in general… A lot of bad things have happened to people close to me since

II

and it's profoundly influenced my writing as I've realized there will never be justice for them," Alice Glass said in a statement. "I didn't think I could lose faith in humanity any more than I already had, but after witnessing some things, it feels like the world is a dystopia where victims don't get justice and corruption prevails. I'm one step away from being a vigilante to protect people and bring justice to the people I love. I've thought about it."

 

"We wanted the new album to sound like a completely different and new experience," said Ethan Kath in a statement. "Any keyboards and pedals used on

or II were traded for different keyboards and pedals so that there would be a new palette of sounds to work with. We wouldn't allow any computers near the studio, everything had to be recorded to tape. We'd limit ourselves to one take because we believe the first take is the rawest exp

ression of an idea."

 

alice is right, and it's a chilling realization. i can't wait to see to how the music on (III) will reflect that, sonically.

Sounds like it's gonna be good!

this is why CC are my favourite band of all time. look at that integrity there! alice feels exactly the same as i do on the world, hell i thought i had gone mad. one take, that's just so cool. and it saves me having to find demos.

The songs on their albums are not my cup of tea, but "Wrath of God" is slaying me.

Can you guys recommend songs similar to this one ? Its so good, can't wait for the album.

Since it hasn't been posted already.

[Mileena]

i was about to post the track listing(:

 

i have a feeling that 'affection' will be a harsher song. because they often have a nice title and a harsh song (doe deer, love and caring, etc). i'm so excited, i got my mum to pre-order the album a couple weeks ago.

 

speaking of my mum, she keeps taking my cc albums
