Crystal Castles Announce North American, European Dates

Beware Alice Glass' microphone. Oh, and Ethan Kath's fists.

There, we warned you. With that, we'll also let you know Crystal Castles are set to play shows throughout North America and Europe this spring, and will be performing tunes (if you can call them that....) off their upcoming as-yet-untitled sophomore album.

Glass and Kath are finishing the disc in Toronto. Of course, the duo are working under some kind of Harry Potter-esque invisibility cloak (or perhaps that should be "Star Trek-esque cloaking device"? That'd probably be more appropriate) and there's not much else known about the record at the moment.

We can tell you, however, that Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Primal Scream) has produced at least one track on it, and he says it will "change the rules of the pop game."

Looks like the hyperbole isn't going to go away with this album, either.
