Crystal Castles used Trevor Brown's artwork (depicting a black-eyed Madonna) without permission. In mid-2008, Crystal Castles were involved in two controversies related to artwork permissions and samples in their earliest unreleased songs. They issued four singles: Alice Practice (1 June 2006), Crimewave (Crystal Castles vs HEALTH) (13 August 2007), Air War (17 December 2007), and Courtship Dating (31 March 2008).Ĭrystal Castles are known not only for their own efforts as a band, but also for commissioned remixes for number of groups, including Hunting For Witches by Bloc Party, and Atlantis to Interzone by friends and label mates, Klaxons. Crystal Castles received great reviews and ranked #39 on NME Magazine "Top 50 Albums of the Decade". This album reached #47 on UK Albums Chart, #6 on US Top Electronic Albums, #13 on US Top Heatseekers, and #32 on US Independent Albums.
In 18 March 2008 they released their debut album entitled Crystal Castles. She was not aware that the recording existed until London UK's Merok Records asked to release the track on vinyl. The band's first single Alice Practice was actually a microphone test by Glass. In 2004 Ethan gave Alice 60 instrumental tracks and in April 2005 she recorded vocals over five instrumentals. Ethan later discovered Alice Glass singing in a noise-punk band, and thought he had found the "missing ingredient" to his music. Initially the band was a solo project started by Ethan Kath in December 2003. Their debut album was included in NME's "Top 50 Albums of the Decade". They are known for their melancholic lo-fi sound and their explosive live shows. They are named after the lyrics "The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles" and "Crystal Castles, the source of all power" both from the theme song for She-Ra's fortress.
