Rating: unmoved This record left our Mingus Who? feeling unmoved.

Crystal Castles: Courtship Dating (Different) I cannot help thinking we've been had with this lot. They look and sound like an archetypal 'Fashion' band. Not only that, the girl that fronts this duo is supposed to be so hot, all the lads that go to their shows to oggle her. The music is like a squat punk's version of electro-disco with noisy vocals. Some folks say their sound is a little 'eight-bit' or 'gameboy' even. Mainly they mean lo-fi and cobbled together. It's not really a smasher for me but I can understand the appeal: inclusive electronic music dressed down and presented with a beautiful face. Let's see what they're up to this time next year ehh?

What the label says:

Courtship Dating
Trash Hologram

“Crystal Castles are brilliant songwriters with tunes and melodies any straight band
would die for” – NME.
Crystal Castles follow up their previous, sold out limited 7” single ‘Air War’ with ‘Courtship Dating’, which finds them on a more ambient tip, whilst retaining enough waywardness to appeal to their hardcore fanbase.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
