Angular Records and Twee as Fuck are very proud to present the CRYSTAL STILTS' DEBUT ALBUM ALIGHT OF NIGHT, hailed as the most exciting reverb-drenched, fuzzed up record to come out from New York since the 1980s.

"Crystal Stilts have created one of the most perfectly formed reconciliations of classic rock swagger and zoned dreampop." - The Wire

"It has that classic first ten Creation releases era sound mixed with a drummer raised on a diet of only Moe Tucker and laura from the shop assistants." - Rough Trade

Fantastic support will come from London's favourite post-punk squelchers WET DOG (Angular Records) and Leeds' fuzzed up guitar heroes MANHATTAN LOVE SUICIDES (Squirrel/ Magic Marker Records). Twee as Fuck and Angular DJs will keep you dancing till way past your bedtime.

I quite like these, but I am struggling with the vocals at times. They sounds a little too dreary.

Anyway I will see them supporting The Black Lips next month, so let's see how they shape up live.
