Crystal Castles was a Canadian electronica band formed in 2006, known for their dark, melancholic aesthetic and a unique sound that started out as a mix of electropunk and synthpop before transitioning into futuristic industrial territory that would become most synonymous with the genre of witch house.Started by singer Alice Glassnote real name: Margaret Osborn and songwriter/producer Ethan Kathnote real name: Claudio Paolo Palmieri, Crystal Castles began gaining traction off the success of their song "Alice Practice" both through MySpace and a sizable Colbert Bump following them performing the song in an episode of Skins.note While the details are spotty, the general origin story often shared alongside the song is that it was a soundcheck/proof of concept that was never meant to be released, in some versions recorded in secret by their engineer. However, Alice publicly denied this following her departure from the band, claiming that Ethan had deliberately fabricated the story to minimize her input. From there, they grew a reputation for their extremely chaotic live shows, the consistent divisive responses to their work, and the enduring passion of their fanbase. Their influences around this time included murder, blank looks on girls, and knives.On October 8, 2014, Alice announced her departure from Crystal Castles, later embarking on a solo career the following year. Language exchanged between her and Ethan afterwards in public statements implied a less-than-amicable split. While Alice stated that her exit would mark the end of the band, Ethan released a new song under the Crystal Castles name on April 16, 2015 titled "Frail" with vocals done by a new singer named Edith Frances, who would then become Alice's replacement. This pairing would release a new album, Amnesty (I), in August 2016; although they announced they were working on an Amnesty (II) nine months later, the band has not released any music since.In October 2017, Alice published a statement in which she accused Ethan of sexual, emotional, physical and mental abuse dating back to when she first began recording with him at the age of 15. Ethan publicly denied the allegations and sued her for defamation, but the suit was dismissed in 2018. The band cancelled remaining tour dates that were planned at the time, and no further updates on the band have been provided.Other public disputes the band found themselves in occurred in 2008, when they were accused of violating Creative Commons licenses by stealing artwork and samples from other artists, specifically a drum sample by Lo-Bat which featured on Insectica and the usage of a black-eyed Madonna◊ as an album cover. These issues were seemingly resolved when they retitled Insectica to 'Crystal Castles vs Lo-Bat', and it soon became apparent that the artist who created the Madonna image was prolonging hostilities as he was benefiting from the exposure — Crystal Castles tried to pay him for the image but he refused to provide them with the necessary details.They are unrelated to the Atari Arcade Game. | |

Sampling | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: "Untrust Us" is built around the opening text-to-speech sample of Death from Above 1979's "Dead Womb", and ends with the first two-and-a-quarter bars of the song as an abrupt Last Note Nightmare. "Year of Silence" is built around the bridge of Sigur Rós' "Inni mer syngur vitleysingur". "Magic Spells" takes elements from the title track of Grandmaster Flash's The Message. | |

Cover Version | |

Cover Version: Although the studio version of "Crimewave" is technically a remix of the HEALTH song, they often perform it live as one. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: Crystal Castles' music in general tend to fit under this. A lot of it sounds fairly upbeat and danceable, but the lyrics on the other hand... but a lot of time it's hard to make out what Alice is even saying anyway due to the delibrate audio distortion. Their bouncy, call-and-response single "Courtship Dating" is about human taxidermy. | |

Affectionate Nickname | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_dcd423d2 | comment |
Affectionate Nickname: Alice's version of it, anyway; she once noted that she addressed her bandmate as Ethan Catheter, because he's "the most uncomfortable thing in the world". | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
"Untrust Us" has a repeated sampled line in Spanish, "La cocaÃna no es buena para su salud", meaning "Cocaine is not good for your health". | |

Word Salad Lyrics | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_e18675e6 | comment |
Word Salad Lyrics: Their first hit in Britain, "Alice Practice", was Ethan recording Glass uttering nonsense into a microphone over a drum loop. "Air War", which samples Ulysses by James Joyce. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Tell Me What to Swallow" is the calmest song on the debut album, but also the saddest. "Violent Dreams" is by far the softest song on (II), running on lush synth washes and forlorn, distorted vocals. "Child I Will Hurt You", the final track on III, is a full-on ambient piece. | |

Single Stanza Song | |
| Crystal Castles (Band) (Music) / int_fb6e2ef7 | comment |
Single Stanza Song: A number of their songs are based around the repetition of a single set of lyrics. In "Doe Deer", Alice just screeches "Deathray!" over and over. | |
