The distorted voice of Alice Glass, whose stage presence is impossible to ignore, comes straight into the listener's ears, on the synthetic foundations inherited from amusement arcade culture produced by Ethan Kath. Canada's Crystal Castles have manipulated the 8-bit sound and adapted it to a dark trash aesthetic. They have spread like a virus in the Myspace community, and achieved a massive international following despite their short career.
