The Canadian duo Crystal Castles released the track “Plague” as a free download today. The song has a very dark tone, so it will be interesting to see if this is the direction the duo is headed in when their new album drops later this year. The build up that leads to Alice’s vocals is dramatic – almost haunting – before her ethereal voice chimes in with the synths. After listening to this track I’m left very curious to see what the album will sound like – no word on a release date yet.
