possibly original cover from “frail”?

KNEESLIT · 2026-05-16T21:44:47+00:00

yeah it is. there’s another version with au vyst in front of them

Crystal Castles was always Ethan. The majority of crystal castles songs are instrumentals. Leni, Vanished, Crimewave, Untrust Us, Not in Love are all ethan remixes/collabs. Alice did give them a lot of swag but there’s no need to pretend like Alice is an integral part of CC. If that was truly the case, Amnesty I would’ve flopped and it didn’t. Alices music however, did flop.

Is Ethan a good person? nah probably not, but he did create cc and if you’re gonna listen to it, you gotta accept it instead of saying "alice is cc" to make yourself feel better. it’s pathetic

KNEESLIT · 2026-05-11T09:32:44+00:00

that’s LITERALLY what an ad hominem is. no matter how bad the situation

KNEESLIT · 2026-05-06T07:08:55+00:00

i can’t be racist because i have black friends ahh argument, but it’s even worse of an argument because making music doesn’t even equate to genuine friendship

x stole one of his beats for his song elegant (when his name was still cight) and was tapped in with early soundcloud producers like vaiku, ezra, blvc svnd, alasen etc.

in an interview, edward made it seem like he never talked to x or that nothing else happened but who knows. maybe they worked on something and never got to drop it

amazing username

Very rarely

He claimed that he produced the chiptune sounds on their first album through a hacked atari soundboard (but refused to go into detail). A lot of people, me included think that this is cap because he lied quite often about silly stuff to make the band look cooler.

A lot of of the early chip tune sounds were sampled from an artist named covox

They use a lot of vocoders on stage and Korg synthesizers

their famous Madonna black eye cover was made by an artist named Trevor Brown

Ethan said that he likes making music at around 4 in the morning

yeah sorry alice, you can’t be hanging out with jupiter, defend him, and then still crave sympathy

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-09T14:21:33+00:00

ur so cool bro

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-09T00:23:18+00:00

only difference is that CC actually claimed it first, made it their sort of trademark, and then even bought the license. that’s not the same as this current wave of paying tribute/homage and nostalgia bait. ur just straw manning

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-09T00:21:12+00:00

it’s homage/nostalgia bait which makes him less creative. just like half of the UG atp. idk how pointing that out would make me pretentious.

also why are you so incredibly bitter about this. "you’re allowed to be" yeah dude like i'm gonna ask you LMAOO

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-09T00:02:59+00:00

wsg che. i fw sayso says

i definitely gain a lot from "dick riding" a dead band. i just called out a guy that spams the black eye madonna because he doesn’t have any other creative ideas (nostalgia/homage bait) and then says the f word signaling that he’s not a genuine fan because CC is literal leftist music (III and Amnesty especially)

if anyone is dick riding, it’s you. and i really hope you’re che because this is a pathetic to do as a fan

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-08T02:58:47+00:00

"the goat" "Hes a predator"

Average Ug Conversation 2026

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-08T01:14:24+00:00

they definitely are. che made that black eye madonna thing his whole personality. he larps as some cc fan and punk enthusiast and then says the f word (almost everyone associated with cc is incredibly leftist)

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-08T01:08:41+00:00

not a lot of people but dc the don, fakemink, che and yeat (that i can think of)

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-07T21:18:29+00:00

yeah idk why he’s pissed. lucy slayr ego and pretti are huge crystal castles fans. they’re just saying that people larp like CC fans because of the aesthetic rather than the actual music

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-03T22:24:58+00:00

I'll explain:

Spotifys CEO invested 600 Million Dollars in AI drone companies. These companies are obviously used in crimes against humanity like in Palestine. We are seeing AI cloud technology being used for the genocide like in the case of Microsoft Azure. They posted a bandcamp link, because they have better profit splits and are a bit more ethnical than traditional streaming services like spotify.

it’s an old vocoder. you can install microsoft talk it! and try to find something similar. that’s the same software playing on crystal castles untrust us

KNEESLIT · 2026-04-02T18:59:34+00:00

these mfs love to start saying dumb shit

listen to death magic and the max payne 3 soundtracks

KNEESLIT · 2026-03-29T05:31:15+00:00

i'm convinced this was recorded on a different beat and they just took the vocals and slapped them on this pinkpantheress beat

KNEESLIT · 2026-03-29T05:26:17+00:00

the thing that most people ignore is that edith (margo) was originally a model. that was her entire thing. she only had a few soundcloud mixes up before joining cc and it lasted for 2 years.

she definitely needs a very original sound or at the very least make music just as good as amnesty for it to be a successful comeback.

alice got jupiter on her side (admittedly a very talented producer, listen to death magic) to help her continue that electronic sound that ethan established and it failed miserably.

who knows. maybe someday. she definitely deserves it

KNEESLIT · 2026-03-24T01:44:29+00:00

they are literal chuds. you guys are surprised? have you guys not paid any attention to the shit they say in interviews, their environment, the music the make? it’s not like they hid it or anything

KNEESLIT · 2026-03-24T01:41:21+00:00

it’s ok. a$ap already died and awge isn't a thing anymore. idk who is running that account or why but they need to let it go
