As Complex noted in 2010, Crystal Castles’ first official release was the 2006 single “Alice Practice” - so named for the song’s evolutionary process. If that picture were taken 10+ years ago, it would make “Edie” old enough to have sung “Frail.” So there’s your answer! Right? Maybe not - there are a few weird inconsistencies here.įirst off, it’s pretty hard to confirm that “Untrust Us” and “Magic Spells” were released on Apand it’s a whole lot harder to believe there was any sort of photo-accompanied press release that went out with the songs. YouTube commenters were surprised and impressed! The “Edie” news in relation to “Knights” was a revelation never before shared by Kath.

(And Edie is also presumably the baby in that picture.) It’s not impossible to imagine that the vocalist on this track is in fact a child whose voice has been pitch-shifted. So there you have it, maybe? Edie, presumably, is also Edith. features edie whose voice i sampled on “knights” this was the photo used in the press release (alice wasn’t in the band yet). It’s the same photo that’s at the top of this page - of Kath and a baby in a pink onesie - and it included the following caption:ġ0th anniversary of the release of “untrust us” and “magic spells”. That hint came in the form of a photo shared by Kath on Crystal Castles’ Facebook. Many of the speculators, though, missed a hint provided by Kath two days ago. Numerous Facebook commenters suggested that Edith was in fact Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell, who certainly looks a little bit like Glass. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. I wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. Kath later edited that message, cutting out the notes regarding Glass’ involvement in Crystal Castles, and adding a new bit of information: the name of the vocalist on “Frail,” whom he identified only as “Edith”: people often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, i didn’t care. “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.).

it should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs. When “Frail” dropped, it was accompanied by a message from Kath, saying the following of Glass: That would have made sense: Crystal Castles were a duo made up of Glass and songwriter/producer/instrumentalist Ethan Kath. Yesterday, Crystal Castles released a new song, “ Frail” - which came as something of a shock, as the band’s vocalist, Alice Glass, announced her departure from the group last year, causing many people to believe Crystal Castles were done for good.
