Crystal Castles

Somehow this Toronto-based duo completely flew under our home and native radars and crossed the pond for some attention. Smart move. Their marriage of 8-bit Nintendo noises and kindergarten electro has found them participating in every cool-kid party in the UK. This track is the sound of two sugar-rushed gamers messing with their parents’ Casio while holding R2-D2 hostage in a closet until he finally tells them some Jedi secrets, which he does in the breakdown. I think.
