However, Alice publicly denied this following her departure from the band, claiming that Ethan had deliberately fabricated the story to minimize her input. note While the details are spotty, the general origin story often shared alongside the song is that it was a soundcheck/proof of concept that was never meant to be released, in some versions recorded in secret by their engineer. Started in the mid-2000s by singer Alice Glass and songwriter/producer Ethan Kath, the band began gaining traction off the success of their song "Alice Practice" both through MySpace and a sizable Colbert Bump following the band performing the song in an episode of Skins. I’m sure Alice would clarify in the future.Crystal Castles is an electronica band with a dark aesthetic and a unique sound that started out as synthpop with heavy chiptune and electropunk influences before transitioning into more futuristic and industrial territory, although this later sound would become most synonymous with the genre of witch house. Alice coincidentally (like Autumn) had diaries and poetry books around the time of (I) and (II) so wouldn’t be surprised if most songs on those album were written mostly by her. otherwise not sure why she would perform choose to perform them. The whole statement “Edith” came out with on Amnesty’s release about the world being at a critical Tipping point, supporting vulnerable people and advocating human rights whilst at the very same time preying on the vulnerable like vultures.ĭon’t think we will ever know which songs didn’t involve Ethan, however we know from Alice’s solo shows that she at least wrote Love & Caring, Alice Practice, Black Panther (she posted on twitter saying she wanted to take this song back but never ended up performing it), and potentially suffocation and celestica.

Was just a smokescreen for Ethan’s abuse. The kiss you did not earn" if I remember correctly, as for everything else I'm not sure, I think they wrote III together but Violent Youth features his vocalsĪmnesty: Autumn wrote Char, Femen samples a Nirvana written song, Edith helped write Enth - Concrete & Fleece, Kept samples 2 Beach House songs III: Ethan wrote Sad Eyes in 2006 as a Kill Cheerleader Song but Alice wrote 2 lines herself I can't remember what exactly but I think it was " Feign care and warm concern
Alice practice crystal castles lyrics how to#
Alice Practice, Love & Caring, xxzxcuzx me, Black Panther, Courtship Dating, Through The Hosiery, TMWTS we're all written by Alice and taken from her lyric book back when she joined cc in 2006 where as every other song uses sampled vocals along with sampled beats to make instrumental so this album is the least Ethan-yĬelestica was written by Alice and mostly produced by Paul Epworth (Ethan only made the concept of it/lead synth) Pap Smear was written by Alice about her friend, Alice did most of the work for the song Birds (idk how to word this right cause idk shit about instruments lool but she created the guitar melody(?) and wrote the lyrics) Seed, MKB, Insectica we're all written by Alice at the very start of CC, Not In Love was written by Platinum Blonde but yea the rest of the II tracks written by both of them working together, tracks like Violent Dreams, YOS, Vietnam all used sampled vocals, Luke Leeder helped write Baptism, songs Intimate and IAMOC both feature Ethan's vocals (IAMOC being a duet with him and Alice though)
