Crystal Stilts

OK So since this blog is new I'm sort of catching up and adding things that may not seem like such breaking news, so bear with me.

A group i've been pretty excited about this year are New York's Crystal Stilts. 

They are a four piece who have a nice little mixture of 60's influenced psychedelica scattered with touches of The Jesus and Mary Chain making a very jangly, distant sound. They compress all of that into brilliant pop songs that may not seem so at first, but they will literally stick to your brain the more you listen. 

Following a string of singles and a couple of EP's they just got local release for their devut album Alight Of The Night on Spunk Records and it's already shaping up to be one of the best releases of the year thus far. It's seriously addictive. 

I could imagine their brand of psych pop would work really well on the live front also, since the Spunk release happened we can only hope they decide to eventually do an Australian tour. 

But yes, again I urge you to check them out, start with these brilliant videos:

'Prismatic Room'

'Departure'

And to top that off here is an mp3 of the track 'Crystal Stilts' from the album. 

Enjoy.
