Crystal Castles have dropped a brand new tune, supposedly from their forthcoming new album. The first new track they’ve released all year, "Plague," is another dark, and distinctly dramatic electronica tune that we've come to expect from CC (not that they've ever made cheerful, uplifting music). The eerie introduction sets the stage for the haunting vocals and low bass atmosphere of the rest of the song. "Plague" is gothic, energetic, and a little more melodic for Crystal Castles, but still has those piercing synths, bringing plenty of tense energy. Close your eyes and just listen. You can check out the track below or download it from their Soundcloud page.
