Crystal Castles - (III) - LP

Crystal Castles' darkest and most hypnotic record, cut entirely to tape with no computers allowed in the studio.

Released in 2012, (III) was the first album produced entirely by Ethan Kath. He ditched the old synth arsenal and enforced a strict analog-only rule, giving tracks like "Plague," "Wrath of God," "Affection" and "Transgender" a cavernous, blown-out grandeur. Mastered by Brian Gardner with lacquers cut at Sterling Sound, this single LP houses all twelve tracks and comes with a printed inner sleeve featuring lyrics and a band photo. The high-water mark of the Glass/Kath era.
