Crystal Castles Return With "Frail"

After Alice Glass left Crystal Castles last October, no one knew the fate of Crystal Castles though there were hints that Ethan Kath was not done with the project. After a lengthy hiatus, Crystal Castles returned today with a triumphant new single “Frail” coupled with this statement from Ethan:

i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. it should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs. (she’s not on Untrust Us. Not In Love, Vanished, Crimewave, Vietnam, Magic Spells, Knights, Air War, Leni, Lovers Who Uncover, Violent Youth, Reckless, Year of Silence, Intimate, 1991, Good Time, Violent Dreams etc.). people often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, i didn’t care.

Hopefully this means new music is on the way from Crystal Castles as they haven’t released an album since 2012. Until we get more news, you can stream “Frail” below.
