The wet dream of a moody 80s teenager, New York's Crystal Stilts have their debut album 'Alight Of Night' given a UK release by Angular Recordings. Haphazard 6Ts girl group influenced garage rock meets nonchalant, sombre vocals, resulting in an amalgamation of Jesus & The Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, The Cure and Joy Division. Detached introspection rules, with vocals buried deep in the mix of trashy guitars, elastic band bass and not-played-by-a-drummer-really drums. Blessed with the ability to write catchy pop songs and then destroy them, Crystal Stilts satisfy without appearing too bothered about it. Brilliant.
