“Duran Duran -- I remember the first night I was truly cognizant of the individual band members. It was the first Friday of December, 1984. My BFF Pam and I suffered the same affliction of not having cable TV and had to get our music video fix via NBC's "Friday Night Videos." I'd seen Duran Duran videos and knew their songs, but just wasn't all that into them. The video for "Do They Know It's Christmas" came on and I was like, "Pam, who is this hot guy with the long blonde hair???" "Oh, that's Simon LeBon. He's the lead singer of Duran Duran." Hmmm... "I guess that guy with the red and black shirt that says 'Duran Duran' on it is in the band, too, huh?" "Yeah, that's John Taylor. Like EVERYONE thinks he's hot." (And I remember thinking, "He's okay, I guess," LOL!) "Hey, Pam! Who's this guy back here? Shoot, I keep missing him! They just barely show him, with the amazing make-up and the gorgeous eyes???" "Oh, that's Nick Rhodes. He's in Duran Duran, too. I think he plays keyboards." Hmmm... The next video up? "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran! Just a few moments earlier, during "DTKIC," I had picked out these three men who would fill my dreams, diaries, and Duran-induced imagination for years and years to come, three talented musicians whose band's music would, from that night forward change my life forever and whose music would literally save my life more than once.”
Some music news can't be just announced willy-nilly the second it breaks. Some music news has to simmer, boil and brew for a week or so until it's just right and ready for your consumption. Keep that in mind when you start to wonder, "Hey, wait a minute, if noisy Canadian electro-duo Crystal Castles… they're my favorite group, but I'm going to refer to them in that formal music critic sort of manner anyway… debuted new music at last weekend's Parklife Festival in Manchester, England, why am I just hearing about it now?"
The answer? We've just now stumbled across a quick snippet of fan footage capturing the first real taste of what we can expect on their upcoming third album. Check it out below.
Sounds like a Crystal Castles record, all right—gloomy rave synths, spooky four on the floor beats and, of course, Alice Glass wailing on top. The audio quality leaves plenty to be desired, but I, for one, take comfort in knowing they haven't opted to go down the "radical acoustic folk" route on this album. You can never know what these crazy rock stars will do, you know? Because they're crazy.
Digging the new sounds? Excited for Crystal Castles III? Let us know in the comments section below.
