brooklyn's spectral garage-pop quintet, crystal stilts, release their debut uk single through angular, the first to be taken from forthcoming album 'alight of night'. 'departure' is a concise atmospheric echoing masterpiece, but has a pop sensibility that is already grabbing the attention of many people in the uk. whilst the airwaves have been filled with the onslaught of brooklyn's psychedelic scene for the past year or so, crystal stilts embody a wholly different and darker sphere. they feature ex vivian girls' drummer frankie rose, and musically, their sound has been likened to a variety of different sources: new zealand's flying nun label (the chillis, the bats), the velvet underground, the gothic howl of psychobilly pioneers the gun club and of course the garage pop sensibilities of jesus and the mary chain. the limited 7" comes backed 'prismatic room'.....release date: 09/02/2009
