New Crystal Stilts - "Crystal Stilts"
Crystal Stilts may be the quickest graduates from outsider status to buzz in recent memory, but to these ears at least, the shift is more than deserved. As we let you know when posting about the haunting Brooklyn band's forthcoming Slumberland full-length Alight Of Night, their minimalist and melancholic, lo-fi and Flying Nun-redolent Ian Curtis-meets- Phil Spector garage fuzz is pretty irresistible. If you're still unconvinced, though, take a closer listen via the detached surf haze of "Crystal Stilts," Alight Of Night's organ-lined group theme song.
