Crystal Castles detail fourth record Amnesty (I), unveil new single "Char"
Enigmatic electro twosome Crystal Castles have announced their fourth record Amnesty (I) - the first without long-time vocalist Alice Glass.
Edith Frances joins Ethan Kath for the new album, which follows 2012's III, following the departure of Glass in 2014.
Amnesty (I) has been rumoured to exist for a while - with those rumours crystallising over the past few weeks thanks to a wayward Amazon listing.
New single "Char" - a bouncy, pearlescent cut showing Crystal Castles at their clearest since "Celestica" - arrives in the aftermath of the belligerant "Concrete". Last year's "Frail" will also appear on the record, but "Deicide" will not.
Amnesty (I) is released 19 August via Fiction.
