A collection of this NYC band's two pre-2008 releases (and rather 'pre,' at that; from 2004 and 2005), consisting of six melodic and engaging post-punk shoegaze-ish tracks. Re-tooled versions of the majority of these tracks will appear on the forthcoming 'Alight of Night' album, but this 12" is worth picking up on its own terms (well, for me at least!), and serves as an excellent preview of their upcoming debut LP. Crystal Stilts have been an opening act for hundreds of shows in NYC over the last few years, though intermittently (various hiatuses, changing members), but they seem to have finally solidified their band lineup and gotten down to putting out some proper releases, and are certainly one of the most exciting bands to emerge this year.
