Let your mind wander to the sounds of an another dimension.

Altered Dimensions

Back in 2008, a lot of heads turned to clock Crystal Stilts' Alight Of Night, their first album after a string of here-today-gone-tomorrow singles and EPs. It wasn't exactly a surprise - Crystal Stilts felt like part of a new age dawning, of underground collectives and random, crazy groups who'd rediscovered the joys of noise-pop and set about creating their own Creations - but there was something unique about Crystal Stilts, something hermetic yet gorgeous about the world they created. With their new album, "In Love With Oblivion," they stretch things further still, honing their songcraft, indulging their more strung-out sides, full of elliptical verses and perfectly chiming guitars, cranky pop organs and the punkest of rhythms. It's a perfect blend of pop smarts and beguiling experiment.

"In Love With Oblivion" is out April 12 on Slumberland Records in the US and April 11 on Fortuna Pop! in the UK.

Hey everyone,

Here is the fourth single from Damon Moon & The Whispering Drifters "Lungs, Dirt and Dreams" entitled "Restless Roads End".

"In a way, the album is a bit conceptual. Songs blend into each other, many of varying length from less than a minute to just over seven. They, too, range from borderline folky (“The Fool” and “Gild The Lily”) to wild with epic noisy shoegaze (“Restless Roads End”)." - Fensepost

"“Restless Roads End” documents that moment in the film when there is a tense calm, just before all hell breaks loose." - Terrascope

"“Restless Roads End” is intriguing, posing as one thing and then suddenly becoming another. " - Impose Magazine

"This track, the fifth on the album, is powerful yet restrained with strong drumbeats and riffs hinting at the potential energy; but the control exhibited makes the song that little bit more marvellous. Damon Moon takes his time with a song, slowly unwinding it and keeping you perfectly entertained at all times." - We Are Unseen

take care,

Crystal Stilts - Precarious Stair (alternate version) [2011|

"Shake The Shackles" is Crystal Stilts' first release since "Love Is A Wave" and is a great snapshot of where the band is now and a taster for their forthcoming second album, due early 2011. Driven by echoed guitar strum and droning keys, it's a dexterous update of 60s garage pop that places it alongside late 80s Paisley Underground heroes like Green On Red and later Dream Syndicate, but the song itself is totally timeless, and impossible to place anywhere but firmly in Crystal Stilts' own unique style.
