Crystal Fighters: "Separator"

The Basque music pioneers are back and as thrilling as ever.

Basque music pioneers, Crystal Fighters, return with more of the upbeat-to-the-point-of-hysteria, folk-fuelled style that made their debut LP, Star of Love, so endearing. "Separator" is the first track to be taken from their forthcoming album Cave Rave and while it captures that kinda perma-carnival atmosphere folk we've become accustomed to with them, it also sounds like the dudes have been getting a little bit more experimental with electronica, distorting vocals and adding bleeps and synths to their meld of traditional Basque instruments. Smart move, guys.
