Pitchfork Premieres Crystal Stilts "Dark Eyes"
Radiant Door EP Out November 15 On Sacred Bones
Fall Tour Dates Announced
Sacred Bones is elated to present a new EP from a NY band that has been very near and dear to our hearts for many years now, Crystal Stilts
. Recorded in early 2011 by Gary Olson, with the band’s guitarist JB Townsend producing, Radiant Door
unveils some of the Stilts’ most dynamic recordings to date. The album
features the beguiling blend of romanticism and mystery that one expects
from singer and lyricist Brad Hargett.
Radiant Door
reflects the band’s experiments with specific ideas in the studio and
what they’ve been excited about and listening to, including Blue
Orchids, Sanford Clark, and many more. Opening track “Dark Eyes” may be
their strongest song to date, unshackling them from their fuzzy
reputation, which, even at its heaviest, could never obscure one from
this bands dexterous song-craft.
This has been a remarkable year for the band, including the release of their sophomore full-length, In Love With Oblivion
, to rave reviews, and almost continual touring since. Fall plans
consist mostly of staying close to home and working on new material,
with some additional US and European touring scheduled for November.
