All of the Crystal Castles comparisons that Hearts Revolution garners can only be justified to a certain point. Sure, they're both boy-girl, electroclash, 8-bit sounding duos, but that's about as far as the similarities go. Crystal Castles pounds out soul-impairing, apocalypse jams with (I think) lyrics like, "Robot grunts have bled each other/they wanna play with my placenta," while Hearts Revolution rides around in an ice cream truck selling candy, singing about "Foxes and bunnies/fire and snow." "Ultraviolence" is a darker political track, but singer Lo's voice, even when screaming, has a hard time forcing out the furry woodland creatures that are bumping around in there somewhere.

Hearts Revolution make Crystal Castles seem like the Christ-like Messiahs of Music everyone proclaims they are. I'm looking for Crystal Castles demos, please post some.
