Crystal Stilts - Shake The Shackles (Video)

I saw Crystal Stilts last week, it was a very cool gig. I missed them the last time they were playing and I always regret that. Their second record In Love With Oblivion is played here everyday, it's going to be one of my favourites this year for sure.
Below the new video for 'Shake the Shackles', the first single from that record released last year.

Crystal Stilts - Flying Into The Sun

The new Crystal Stilts record In Love With Oblivion is very good. 'Flying Into The Sun' is one of the best tracks.

Frankie Rose And The Outs - Candy

Frankie Rose was the drummer in Vivian Girls and wrote their best song 'Where Do You Run To?'. She left for Crystal Stilts and added her skills prominently to their sound, the drums on these Crystal Stilts songs sound dark and subdued and show a deep interest in sound. Then she went to work with the Dum Dum Girls and gave that band a firm backbone with static, hard pounding drums. Now she's totally focused on her own band Frankie And The Outs. They released the single 'Thee Only One' last year on Slumberland and in september that label will release the self-titled debut album.
It's a great record with a lot of reverb, harmonies and 60's girl group influences. I think the best track is 'Candy', it really sticks in your head immediately. Download 'Little Brown Haired Girls' here, and listen to 'Candy' below.

Crystal Stilts - Live: Invisible City / Silver Sun / Precarious Stair

Crystal Stilts - Departure / Converging In The Quiet

The best song from Crystal Stilts' first EP is 'Converging In The Quiet'. It's the perfect dreamy popsong, beautiful drums and great vocals. They recorded it again for their debut LP and renamed it 'Departure'. This version is a bit harder and faster, the guitar is more prominent. I still don't know which version I like best.
I'm very happy with the Crystal Stilts, I hope they release a new LP soon. This year they also released the single Love Is A Wave, which you can get from RCRD LBL.

Crystal Stilts - Sycamore Tree

Crystal Stilts released a beautiful record this year. 'Sycamore Tree' is not on it.

This is from the Daytrotter Session.
