Download: New Crystal Castles Track, 'Plague'

Possibly the first single off their new album.

Get your glow sticks ready — Crystal Castles have a new song out. Featuring layered synthesizers and a pulsating drum beat, 'Plague' is a very pretty song. It sees a slightly more shoe-gaze direction for the band, with Alice Glass' voice taking on an ethereal, delicate quality reminiscent of 'Celestica' from 2010 release Crystal Castles (II). Don't worry, though, there's still some yelling.

'Plague' is possibly the first single off Crystal Castles' upcoming album, which they recorded in Germany earlier this year.
