Alice and Ethan return to the music scene with their new single “Plague”, where we see the duo dance with the dreaded witch-house genre, and the results are some what frightening, but not in a good way.
Being a huge fan of their last album entitled “Crystal Castles II”, their was always going to be high expectations from me, and Plague doesn't quite make the grade.
What is an attempt to move their sound in a new, freakier direction comes across as a plodding, lazy 5 minutes of what sounds like Baptism recycled into a throw away B-Side they didn’t use on one of their earlier albums.
The track itself though, is interesting enough but doesn't quite make the cut, and i am anxious to see what will come from their up coming LP.
Plague is available on iTunes
