Given that Crystal Castles seems to be partaking in a never-ending tour around the world, one might think it hard to bang out new material in the meantime. Not so according to Andy of Lies Records who just shot us over this exclusive remix by Crystal Castles' Ethan Kath, the first of its kind from the CC spinster in over 15 months. The song is a reworking of the White Lies' single "Death" and it captures all that song's intensity with a heaping helping of the old Crystal Castles ultraviolence to boot. Word to the wise, White Lies is a UK band that opened for Crystal Castles when they headlined the NME tour. Listen to the remix below.Crystal Castles - "Death (White Lies Remix)"
In other CC news, the band's next single will be a Crimewave 12'' featuring Sinden and the L.A. Riots as well. Lastly, the band will be taking two weeks off of their never-ending tour in September to record demos for the followup to their self-titled debut. This next album will include current live favorite "Yes NO" which we have a video of here.All of this comes straight from Andy of Lies Records himself, so we know it's all legit. Serious Crystal Castles developments here, what does everyone think?

TV ON THE RADIO REVEAL "GOLDEN AGE"
It may not be a Sea Change for TV on the Radio, but "Golden Age", the first single from the band's upcoming third LP Dear Science, exemplifies what the Brooklyn natives do best - weird, experimental jam sessions that challenge and intrigue with reckless abandon. Here the quintet channel funk and blues with more than a nod to some classic soul. You can hear it over at their official site (takes a moment to load, just wait a second impatient blogsters!). We absolutely cannot wait for this album to drop!********************************************************************
FUN FUN FUN FEST LINEUP ANNOUNCED
Our friends over at the Austinist have been so kind today as to release this year's lineup for Austin's own Fun Fun Fun Fest, the little central Texas festival that could. Seriously, F3 always manages to garner huge acts (like last year's Cat Power and the Murder City Devils, and the year before with the Circle Jerks and Spoon) and this year is no different. Hip hop fans will jam to the likes of Atmosphere and Clipse, hardcore fans will mosh to the sounds of Flipper and the Adolescents, and indie-rock hipsters will nod coolly to the songs of the National and Annuals. No word on a specific time schedule but you can bet just like the last two years we'll be at this fest.Comments?

WOW. it's very very different to all the other cc remixes out there. Full of bassline.
CC really have been putting in massive work. Proud of their effort, they've got a slice of artistry I'm in love with :)
Let's see more videos from them, too, eh?
Bassline? It's wimpy and so boring i fell asleep. No WOW at all.
i love crystal castles but this song doesnt seem them. maby cause it doesnt have alice.
a good majority of the songs off the CC album don't have alice's vocals either. and alice isn't the brains behind CC, she's the voice, tits, and ass. ethan's the brains behind the whole project.
nice track..! tnks a lot..! from MEX
I took that CC photo at the top of the post :)
