Crystal Castles’ Alice Glass responds to Ethan Kath comments

Glass slammed her former bandmate Kath for saying that “she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs”.

19th April 2015

This week, any chance of Crystal Castles parting ways amicably went down the pan when Ethan Kath shared new song ‘Frail’, still using the existing band name. It came along with a rather pointed statement aimed squarely at Alice Glass. It read:

“i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. it should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs.”

The statement has since been deleted from Crystal Castles’ Facebook page, and Alice Glass took to Twitter to respond:

for the record, i wrote almost all of the lyrics in my former band and the vast majority of the vocal melodies

i was a founding member of crystal castles and shaped the sound and aesthetic from the very beginning

manipulative statements about my contributions to the band only reinforce the decision I made to move on to other things

Glass then hinted that she would be proceeding with work on her new solo project. “l’m excited to share new music with you very soon!” she said.
