Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles - Vinyl Record 2LP
Crystal Castles' self-titled debut is one of the most influential electronic records of the late 2000s, presented here as a double LP.
Released in 2008 on Last Gang Records, the album introduced the Toronto duo of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass, whose abrasive mix of 8-bit synths, punk energy and distorted, half-buried vocals felt like nothing else at the time. The duo had already built a cult following through limited singles that sold out on release and shows packed by word of mouth, and this record gathered that early work into a cohesive, chaotic whole.
Highlights include the glitchy rush of "Alice Practice," the woozy "Crimewave" with HEALTH, the hypnotic "Vanished" and the pulsing "Courtship Dating." Spread across two discs, the record's harsh highs and deep, buzzing low end get plenty of room.
Essential for fans of witch house, electroclash and the blog-era indie dance scene. A standout addition to any electronic collection.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
