New Crystal Castles Album To Be Rush Released on Friday
Oh you Internet leakers, when will your reign of terror end? A carefully planned promo campaign for Crystal Castles' new album, which is self-titled just like the band’s first record, is lying on a record company floor in tatters at present, as fans of the group take to the Internet and download a copy that leaked at the weekend.
To combat this thievery, some rumors were put out that this version could be a demo, but with everyone doubting the veracity of that statement, the band has decided to rush release the album this Friday (April 23). Initially it will only be a digital version of the album, with physical formats following on May 24. The record was originally due for release in early June.
You can hear “Celestica” from the album in the YouTube clip above.

Has anyone heard the whole thing yet?
You think this is for the US too or just the UK?
I'd imagine it's US as well. I don't think it would be a wise move to release it in April in the UK and June in the US.
Wheres b/\nger, Im sure he's listened to it 12 times by now.
Banger said he liked it on his Twitter. But then again, he mostly talks about his dog on there, so maybe we shouldn't trust him?
The new album is ggggrrreeaaatttt! Can't wait to buy it on itunes on friday (hopefully if it hits the US) and then the physical copy when it drops.
