What are the chances that an old unfinished opera could inspire a modern band to form and create remarkable and kinetic music. Slim to none, right? But when Laure, singer from Crystal Fighters, came across this treasure of an opera in her deceased grandfather’s possessions, she was roused to share it with her mates and thus the band Crystal Fighters was formed. I have no idea how prevalent a role this opera plays in their current music making but I guess you could call the opera Crystal Fighter’s muse. Their first single “Xstatic Truth” out on Kitsune is a vibrant, vigorous, run around the block four times, organic synth explosion of fun. I surely hope there’s a full album of this slated for release in the near future. For now I’ll just have to keep this on repeat:
mp3: Crystal Fighters – Xstatic Truth
mp3: Crystal Fighters – Xstatic Truth (Radioproof Fighting Remix)
Check the video for the track after the jump.
