The atmosphere that pervades the new album Crystal Castles is easily understood by some clues. "III" was recorded in Warsaw icy and dark, and the cover is a dark elaboration of known photos of Samuel Aranda (winner of the World Press Photo 2011), taken during the uprisings in Yemen, Alice Glass has defined the word 'oppression' as the one that comes closest to the mood of the disc.
Three clues are evidence and in this case indicate that the Canadian duo has focused on mark their image to be dim, dark and 'cursed' and news, as strengths to present their third installment record, which comes in two years away from "Crystal Castles (II)".
The main new features are the use of the voice of Glass, even filtered (and almost unrecognizable) and some great ideas witch-house packaged by Ethan Kath, who produced the entire album.
In this regard stand out on all three pieces as "Wrath of God", "Telepath" and "Violent youth": the first fast and furious ("They'll strip you of your heritage," screams Alice), cash and techno sounds really well-balanced, and the second is roughly on the same wavelength, dark and pulled, but without the voice of Glass, and confirms that the CC are strong when they go heavy on the brake and let go, and the third is witch- house in a pure state, to dance, with the voice of Alice filtratissima.
When instead create hybrids between synth-pop and darkwave, the results are mediocre, as for example in "Pale Flesh", "Sad eyes" and "Transgender", tracks that while not displeased, fail to engage at all, as if missing the decisive rhythmic thrust to impress.
Of note instead "Child I will hurt you," successful experiment ballad Crystal Castles, electronics and soft at the same time, with keyboards to the fore and Alice's voice that becomes incredibly sweet ("Taught them with solace; They know to soft caress, To lower your defense ").
With "III", ultimately, Crystal Castles have tried to make a small step forward compared to the past, and succeed only in part. A missing is the courage to make (when they do the results are excellent), won by a (legitimate) desire not to stray too far from the formula that so far has brought them success. In the flood of record releases an album is not essential.
