You’ve undoubtedly heard the new Crystal Castles track “Not In Love” featuring The Cure’s Robert Smith. Although some would argue it’s technically not new, it sounds so much different/better than the original version it’s got that new song smell all over it. I’ll be the first to acknowledge the awesomeness aura surrounding Alice Glass, from a blinding ATP 2009 performance to fighting with stage security, Glass is a badass. Like pondering a blockbuster trade in fantasy football, would give up Alice Glass for Robert Smith? Yes, I think I certainly would.
[MP3] Crystal Castles – Not In Love (feat. Robert Smith)
I enjoy me some Cure, it would be surreal if Robert Smith started making a habit out of indie collabs. He should, I’d take him over Peter Gabriel any day of the week. Brooklyn DJ Glass Gifts, who brought the house down spinning for us during CMJ, just remixed the star studded Smith + Crystal Castles collab. If you haven’t heard Glass Gifts, snag his tunes from our mpFree feature and check out the bangin’ remix below:
