Crystal Castles: "Plague"

Are they going to be the acceptable face of dance music in 2013?

Are Crystal Castles one of those bands who are much bigger than everyone thinks? I kind of think they are and if their third record is brilliant, I think they might end up being the acceptable face of dance music in 2013. It would be some feat: to survive through new rave, dubstep, and EDM.

This is "Plague" - Alice's vocals are reminiscent of the softer style she developed on "Celestica" while the massive inhaling synths are more refined than anything I can remember them recording.
