Crystal Castles To Record New Single With Robert Smith

As if having a sold-out international tour and a critically lauded new album (II) wasn’t enough Crystal Castles have announced that they will be recording a single with The Cure’s frontman and symphonic guru, Robert Smith.

Not In Love will be released in early December on Fiction Records. The single will also feature a couple B-sides. Early acoustic demos of “Celestica” and “Suffocation” will also be included, which is awesome, even though it kind of defeats the purpose of a “single.”

Check out their video for their newest song off of II , “Baptism.”

As of now, Crystal Castles are over in Europe finishing a sold-out tour. They will be stateside soon enough, and if you want to see them you should go here!

Metric Lend Score to a Christopher Mills Short Film

Scoring short films with your songs is totally going to replace the music video.  It’s not like music videos make it onto television anymore anyway. 

Regardless, Metric have provided their track “Collect Call” from Fantasies as the score for the Christopher Mills short film of the same name.  The film is a lot like the song actually — there seems to be a lot going on throughout, but at the end it’s difficult to find something memorable to take out of it.  The film’s style is definitley unique, and features 2D pallbearers and the constellation version of Emily Haines.
