Crystal Castles | Mercury Lounge | 3.26.08
"Crystal Castles are quite hit or miss for a lot of people, but I'm a pretty big fan of this whole 'dark dance' craze. Being able to catch these guys up close at Mercury Lounge will remain a very memorable experience— now that they can sell out much larger venues. Even though Alice Glass' breathy and squeaky singing parts are rarely the focus of the best Crystal Castles songs, her strobe-lit hopping and flailing are the highlights of their live show. It's a waste to use flash of your own when they have so kindly brought thier own. I think it's fun to play catch with the strobes, and acheive unusual photos like this one where sometimes because of the lights it looks like Alice is in two places at once."
