Awake from Slumberland

Crystal Stilts are back with some new material. To get us in the mood for the release of their sophomore album early next year, the hypnotic psychedelic hole has been reopened with 'Shake The Shackles'. The 7" is due to be released on 26th October on Slumberland Records. The sound's about the same as last years release 'Alight of Night', but that was good, so this probably will be too.

Tall order

I hope you like your shoes because you might find yourself gazing at them. I picked up the Crystal Stilts album a few weeks ago and have only just warmed to how good the album actually is. Sounding like a cross between the Stone Roses and a dirty garage band, their music floats around your brain and before you know it the album is finished. They're playing a few gigs at the minute, including a treat at Barden's Boudoir in London when they play alongside the great Wavves.
